No4 Mk1 T sniper rear leaf sight

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 MK. I back sight for a No. 4 MK. I rifle is on eBay Calibrated to 1,300 yards and incorrectly described as being for a Jungle Carbine (which was not calibrated for the longer distances). Marked /|\ and B (early war Birmingham I believe). In Las Vegas. Has battle sight still in place. Claimed to be NOS condition.

thanks for the help guys

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.
