    Nice rifle!
    A higher front sight to get elevation zero?
    Many years ago, I saw some No.2 Mk. IV rifles which were still in use. Apparently the Cooey sights didn't stay tight on the receivers - so...

    I have been shooting one of my Boer Mausers. Very similar to your rifle. Interesting to compare it to a MLE. Charger loading vs loose rounds, etc.

    There is an armorer's tool with opposing screws that can push the sight left or right. Controlled, predictable movement. Or, you could use a non-marring punch and a light hammer.

    That rifle would be a perfectly good hunting rifle. Looks to be in decent condition. However:
    It would be a poor candidate for restoration. The barrel is shortened. The receiver is drilled and...

    There have been Sten bits and pieces in the last few auctions. Prices have been insane. A bolt and barrel could exceed $1000.
    Making a barrel would certainly be an option. A piece of .35 caliber...

    Has the .30-.303 been mentioned? Just a .303 set up to use .308 bullets in a .300/.308 barrel.

    I have often thought that .307 Winchester would be excellent for a .30 caliber conversion of a Ross.

    You mention .22lr - great use for a .303 barrel with a sewer of a bore. Bolt head, firing pin and extractor must be adapted.

    Mk. II rifles (except the II**) have a very unusual breech thread. 3 t.p.i., left hand, modified buttress. The breeching was designed so that once the set screw was backed off, a barrel could be...

    The bolt has been altered for use with a scope, polished and jeweled, so if you want a sporting rifle, its good to go. The barrel is commercial, of course. Receiver looks good.

    In the same auction, look at Item #57. It was set up on an unnumbered receiver as well.
    The British rifles converted to .22 were probably intact .303s rebarreled to .22, not parts guns.
