Fitting a 9G rear sight to No1MkIII*
Gents, I have just aquired an AJ Parker 9G rear sight to fit to my 1929 BSA made No1 MkIII*
There are two issues that I need to attend to. Firstly I'm going to need the longer screws for fitting the mounting plate; trigger guard rear and safety.
As these are "Enfield" threads; is there any chance of finding the longer screws necessary? Or is it a question of getting some made?
Secondly I'll will probably have to make the mounting plate; because this sight has a plate for another make of rifle, not sure what.
Some dimensional data of the original SMLE fitting would be useful.
If anyone has either parts or info squirelled away somewhere, I would be very interested.
Thanks,
