1903A3 rear sight

**wantabe** · 09-30-2012 10:40 PM

My rear sight on my James River 1903A3 looks new, but very time I shoot it aperture slides down. I have tightened small screw as much as I can. I'm shooting 150 grains at 2700 FPS.
Low recoil. Any thoughts on how I can fix this problem?

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.

Try taking the tension spring off and bending the edges down slightly.
