    1945 No4 Mk1 Longbranch Rear Sight

    I am looking to restore mine to the correct rear sight for this rifle. It has a PH5A now. Is it a flip battle sight or the fully adjustable flip sight? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    A number of sight variations can be found on LB. The MK111 ladder sight was on most 1945's however the flip sight and MK1 micrometer were also used (replacements). Put a Canadian sight on the rifle you prefer and you're good to go. Ron (Canadaicon).

    I went with your suggestion and purchased a LB MK111. Currently have the PH5A on Ebay. I thought th PH was awsome but the LB is really what this needed. Thank-you

    Good choice for a restoration. The PH5a is a great target sight. Ron
