Odd Redfield sight

[Calfed]

I recently ran across this Redfield sight paired with a Weaver K3 in a lot at an on-line auction. The pic isn't the greatest, but has anyone seen a Redfield sight like this before? Looks like a Redfield 70 with some sort of base built on that replaces a rifle or shotgun's side plate

The very high position of the rear hole, and its small diameter, suggests the location of the backsight axis on an Enfield No.4 or M1917. Try matching it up to one or both of these two rifles. The front hole might match with the position of the ejector screw on the Enfield. As for the M1917, that would mean drilling.

If you do not have these rifles, simply post the distance between the holes and their diameters, and I will check on my examples.

It's a Redfield Trophy sight for an Enfield.

The sight finally arrived and I was able to get a better look at it. It does appear to be a Redfield 70 sight mounted to a mounting plate that Redfield made for "no drill" mounting on a No.4 Enfield. I took a few pics of it next to a PH 5C sight





The Redfield 70 sight appears to be a sight made for a flat sided receiver of some type.
