    "New-in box" Parker Hale PH 5B sight?

    I cross posted this on the Enfield forum. I recently ran across this PH5B sight which to my untrained eye appears to be "new in box". Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet...








    Anyone know if any jiggering is required for this to mount to a 1917?

    Would be highly interested if you're willing to sell it, also in the box plus the wrapping paper only. These are things that I'm lacking in my collection.

    For mounting the PH5B on a M1917 you'll need the bolt stop spring from the P.14 if you're not willing to modify the thicker M1917 spring. I think I do have some of those around, if you need one.

    PH5b sight

    thanks for your answer
    are these sights still for sale ?
    found one in the UKicon at" Helston Gunsmiths" ,they refuse to send it over the channel
    they answered was " no export "
    think they are brexiteers or very nationalist guys
    greetings Jarmann

    Jarmann, you're chasing a post from 2012. Go to the WTB and post an ad and someone will sell you a sight.
