UPDATE:
First off, thanks for all your advice. It all really helps!
I’ve managed to find a front sight blade that I need, according to the calculations provided in the Lee Enfield knowledge...

I see your point and all things being equal, I’d wholeheartedly agree.
The thing is, the maximum range I’ll be shooting at is 100 yards. Once in a blue moon and at a stretch I might even be able to...

Of course: off the top of the base! The parts left and right of the blade, gotcha!

Thanks! Yes, I was aware of that: you have to take an equal amount of the base and the blade and re-profile the blade.
Shouldn’t be to big a job with a lathe.

Do you know if the No.1 foresight...

Wow. Live an learn.
Yes, I did read that on the internet.
As I’m reading this on the internet! 😇
But a source like Peter can’t be ignored, of course…

I’ll try other ammo and if the results are...

Thanks! I need a -0.060 blade though…!

Yes, I will try a different ammo brand. Maybe that’s what’s...

Thanks for that!
Yes, it will not be exactly the same, but a 9” difference at 100 yards seems excessive?

According to the calculations, I would need a -0.060 sight blade!
I don’t think these are...

I’m using Privi 174gr FMJ ammo. According to tests I’ve read, these fly quite true to the MkVII, which also is 174gr FMJ.

But would different ammo produce a 9” deviation from the standard at 100...

As a long time admirer of the No.4 Lee Enfield, I managed to pick up a No.4 MkII from the UF 55 A batch.
It was sold from an old stock and put on the market in 1995.
They say it is from a batch...

It’s an old thread, I know, but I’m curious as to what the two angled screws are for. The ones under the turrets?
I have a repro MkI with these screws, but, as stated above, I’m wondering what they...

These books are back in stock at ds-militarybooks.com as of May 2021.

Just for your information: the booklet by Peter Laidler, ‘Telescope Sighting No.32’ , is back in stock at DS military books:

Telescope Sighting No.32 - Including the No.42, No.53 L1A1

Yes Roger, thanks. That does help understand the situation with the mechanical and optical centre of the scope.
The Vee jig method shows a near spot on centre (as near as I can get it), but the...

😁 Thanks!
Do you know if the mechanical centre of the No.32 scope differs from the optical centre?
If so, that would explain the difference in graticules when doing the mirror check...

The right Lee hasn’t presented itself yet.
I figured I’d start with the sight and go from there.
If you’ve vee’d the scope, then according to PL’s articles, you’ll have to further zero it on the...

Hi all,

Today I centered my No.32 (replica) scope.
I used the ‘vee jig’ method which worked quite well.
At 800 yards there is still a very slight wobble, but I can’t get that out.
I decided...
