Redfield peep sight on Jungle Carbine

**jskeys** · 12-25-2019 03:36 PM

I have an Enfield No 5 Jungle Carbine. When I got it it had a Redfield peep sight installed. Does anyone know if this was something done by the British icon

or is this an after service modification made by a sportsman?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It must have been a popular addition, because I've seen a couple over the years. I assume Redfield made a base specifically for the Lee-Enfield. I have a No.1 Mk.III with a base still attached, but the rest of the sight is long gone. Wish I could find the parts to complete it.

Sure, popular...so were putting things like PH sights on these type. Anything that could be adjusted, civilians didn't always shoot the right recipe of ball to shoot to POA for issue sights.

I assure you it was civilian, not military.
