1876 Evans Rifle Sights

**rescuerandy2** · 04-29-2024 06:49 AM

Good Morning All,

Working up my newly acquired Evans and have a question on the sights. Please let me know what are the range designation for the series of apertures. There are no markings I can see or that appear to have been worn down over time. Thanks, Randy

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Just a guess, but with ballistics from the Evan's cartridge virtually indistinguishable from a .45 ACP fired from a 1911 and an advertised accuracy out to 200 yards I would hazard a guess the sight was marked in 50 yard increments?

Good Morning,

That sounds like a good place to begin. I am hoping to get the range in two weeks to try it out. Thanks, Randy

Good Evening,

As many designers imitate ideas of others, I was wondering if the Brits copied the Evans apertures sight for their 1942 PIAT (Projector, Infantry, Anti Tank). Randy
