    Enfield No 4Mk1* Front sight Adjustment Tool

    Anyone know where I can buy a front sight cramp for the Enfield No 4 Mk1* Long Branch??? It is a tool that fits over the front sight and has a long screw on one side, with which you screw in and out to move the front sight blade....I have been looking for weeks now and have not found anything. Would appreciate anyone's help on this matter. Thanks

    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.

    Apart from e-bay or perhaps BDLicon Ltd., I'm not sure...?

    Stan I ordered the L2 tool last week. I know it's going to work. BTW do you make a small tool to turn the screw to loosen the front sight on the No 4 Mk 1*?

    I made one by cutting a slot in the end of a small brass punch with a wheel on my Dremel. Works perfectly and cost very little.

    I just made one from a 6 pt wrench in one of my screwdriver sets. It works fine. Thank God for Dremels.

    I made one from an old screwdriver.It works fine.Just cut off the existing tip and slot it with a Dremel tool or a hacksaw.

    Fortunately the sights on my new No. 4 MK 1 were spot on.
