Original windage adjustable sights on M1917's - How rare are they?

**jarrodeu** · 03-07-2011 11:56 AM

I was reading about how some Remington M1917's produced in mid 1918 had sights adjustable for windage. The pictures I saw looked pretty cool.
It said that they were rare but I was wondering how rare are they?

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 remember that there was a way to adopt the sight leaf and with modifications both the sight leaf and windage adjustment from the M1918A2 BAR sight leaf. This required some work to the M1917 rear sight base area. This modification using the M1918 rear sight could not be used in matchesAttachment 21246
