P14/Enfield questions

[sutton46]

Greetings,

I recently acquired a P14 (Eddystone). It is in good condition, but I want to replace the missing volley sight. Will volley sights described simply as "Enfield volley sights" fit? Also, was there an identifying mark placed on Eddystone volley sight parts?

Thanks in advance.

I think (not 100% sure) the volley sights are unique to the P14, they'd be different on the Lee Enfields. Try Numrich maybe?

Volley sights from Lee-Enfield are very different than P14.
Front pointer on P14 is much longer than Enfield.
Rear P14 is different shape, described as "dog leg".
The P14 parts will be stamped E,R or W. P14 volley sights are very scarce and expensive, at least when you're looking for them. They were officially removed between the wars so a P14 with out them is technically "correct" although examples that still have theirs are very desirable.

Numrich listed the parts, but the front sight arm was out of stock.

Thanks for the help.
