    An armourer would have made it flat due to pride in workmanship and not a half baked effort, the posts and springs are easily obtained the cross pins are there bit more difficult and as Peter has explained you can use a suitable sized nail cut down to put in the rear site axis pin hole.
    I brought a spring and plunger for $10.00/AU from a seller on fleabay so they are not that expensive see if simon has a complete rear sight set up.....!

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I make them from Mk.1 rear sights with crushed battle apertures. I have a couple of spares here but they both have slides marked "M" for the L42A1.

    Was there an approved method of tightening the cursor slide on the sight frame? I've seen the odd one punched in a bit on the sides.
