An easy way to see the sights is a pair of glasses with a piece of pinhole lens in front of your shooting eye ,it sound silly but it works ,or try a target patching dot in front of your shooting eye...

Paul:cheers:

I examined the rear sight of this rifle and found that if i put me thumb on the left side of the rear sight i could push it to the right but if i put my thumb on the right side of the sight i couldnt...

Thanks ,i think i will pull the little bugger to bits and see if rebulding it helps ,i dont want to use the windage feature anyway ,would a little center punch mark stop it moving when im shooting ...

The slide on my 1903 is a bit loose and as i shoot it moves to the right even if the screw is tightened :surrender:,i use it as a competition rifle and the fault is costing me a few points ,is there...

I use good old yankee L.C.70s brass ,it goes forever ,the problem is i cant get the cases from my M17 to fit into my 1903 even after full length sizing :bitch::bitch::bitch:...

I want to use kerr slings on my M17 and springfield for competition shooting ,i may try and track down an original one if the are not going to be up to it ,cheers :super:

I want to buy a Kerr sling (repo OK) and have seen a mob called WPG ,anyone delt with them ??:sos:

Thanks for that ,im just guessing :madsmile:but the battle sight would allow the soldier to hit the torso of someone out to 400 during a battle ,probably aim in the center of the mass,they are nice...

On the matter of which way to turn it ,the sight is turned toward the bullet impact :dunno:

OK here goes ,i was shooting my 1903 at 300 yds at the local fullbore range ,i tried the windage arrangement and the first time i used i think i over reacted and the bullet went past the center ,so...

Sorry i wasnt clear the elevation on some No4 rifles is set by turning a screw clockwise for up anti clockwise for down unlike the M17 ,the sights i saw had this arrangment instead of the normail M17...

I have seen a set of sights for the M17 with the elevation is similar to the sights on the No4 lee enfield rifle ,anybody know the history and are they available know:confused:.

I took the non working ejector out of my 1903 and looked at it and i cant see whats wrong with it ,mainly because i dont know what a working one looks like :dunno:
Anyone have a drawing or pic of a...

I have bought a book on the 03 springfeild and it show US marines guarding mail trains during the 1920s ,anyone have any more information on what went on ?,where they gangs ?or just opportunistic...

Is there a guide to springfeild markings anywhere,my rifle has PJH or A in a rectangular box and next to that is a stampinp of a cirle with crossed cannons in it :confused:,any ideas:surrender:.
