    Help - foresight elements

    Not sure where to post this but as it is on a transition/BSA/P14 target rifle thought someone like Strangely Brown might be able to help.

    This 1948 rifle has a foresight I havnt seen before:-

    The element drops into a slot in the top of the foresight and a sleeve on the foresight is turned to lock the element in.

    Anyone know the maker and , more importantly, does anyone have any spare elements they would be willing to part with.

    Apologies if this offends any LE sensibilities.

    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.

    As it happens John I don't recognise that foresight tube at all; or the element profile, but the good news is I know a man who probably does!

    Check your PM's.
