Info on No8 Rear Adjustable Site

[pedro243]

Hi All,

I have a Fazakerley No8 rifle which is fitted with what appears to be a trail sight.

This site can be seen on page 297 of the Lee Enfield Book, in the section discussing the 2 possible variants of No8 Rifles.

Unfortunately, the windage adjusting screw on mine was broken when i got the rifle. I wish to get another one made to restore the sight to a functioning condition.

Would anyone happen to have a similar sight? if you do, are you able to send me some pictures and dimensions of the windage adjusting screw?

I know it will be impossible to find any further information on them. Some say very few were made.

Any help would be awesome.

Regards,

PJ
