I'm looking for information to convert a no4 rear sight to metric. Can somebody confirm the conversion...been told that the slide had a line struck .700" below existing and side was marked "M". The remainder of the sight was unchanged. Any reference pictures out there? Does anybody know where a guy could pick up a slide or complete sight? Ron(Canada)
.700" should read .070"
The line was milled off and a new line was engraved.
I used to have a small stock of new-in-the-package ones but sold them all some years ago.
MK VII - Do you have a picture of the slide front and side? It would be helpful to see the area where the existing line was removed and the "M" stamping. Ron(Canada)
Ron,
I have a spare slide and a couple of complete L42A1 rear sights if in need. Email me direct. bdlltd@bellsouth.net.

Brian - I'll email you shortly. Ron
The difference, and therefore the method of making one, is spelled out in Peter's No.4(T) book IIRC.
Awesome info - I'll have a look.
Having belatedly found an old picture of it:

I've now found the sight I was sure I had somewhere around here
