    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.

    |Globe or do you mean a ring sight? There are Parker Hale variants available but you'll need to alter the height of your foresight block

    Parker Hale made one called the Matchmaker, tunnel foresight with No.4 adapter that fitted in place of the original sight block. there was also an adapter plate that was in two halves and clamped in place of the original block, it also took the matchmaker tunnel.

    Yes, I think you could also call it a ring sight.

    I've got one for a Springfield '03 made by Redfield.


    Was wondering if PH or BSA or some other manufacturer made them for the No4

    I've already got a PH 5C and a 4/47 TZ for the rear
