Is there any way to fix the tunnel front sight on a No. 5 without causing permanent damage?
No....
Thought so. But thanx, Peter for putting me quickly out of my misery.
You might be able to if you removed the front assembly and got a distance piece made up and used a "modern" palma foresight...they are not very robust though.
Don´t want to make any irreversible changes to my already not very original .308 No. 5. Was thinking along the lines of changing the direction of the dovetail. I don´t need it as I use a Parker Hale windage adjustable rear sight. But even soldering the dovetail is more than I want to undertake. I should most likely just stop tinkering.
