    And what about the stocks of spare parts in Ordnance depots and Armourers workshops across the world. I expect that somewhere in the stores VAOS lists these sight parts were listed as obsolescent. No more being made but use up existing stocks first.

    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.

    I would imagine that it would take quite some time to run through all the stores of parts to get to where the replacements received were the most current prescribed. It kind of puts it all into perspective. It does bring up a couple questions for me though. There are a lot of windage adjustable sights that were pinned. Was this done at a local level? Was there a specification issued to do so? I am just curious and want to learn
