    Question What are these later rear sight components please?

    Can anyone ID and give info on some of these parts?
    I assume anything marked R is a Remington?
    Most ramps are blue and very nice.
    One base is low from front to back.
    Note the top left ramp in pic 4 has a different script in the 0. It's from the sight in the first pic. Is there a way to ID that unmarked sight (pic 1) if it's not Remington? The ramp has no chamfering where the windage screw goes through it.
    Anything of higher value here? I have a couple of unmarked bases not shown. One with no set screw provision.

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.

    (1) You assume correctly. The rear sight parts marked "R" were made by Remington.

    (2) The rear sight base with lowered ears was a victim of Bubba.

    (3) The ramps (yokes) are from different periods of manufacture.

    (4) Unmarked sight parts may be made by Smith-Corona or Hadley.

    (5) I see nothing of higher value.

    Hope this helps.
