    Jim,

    From about 1908 through the late 1920's there were several rear sights submitted by inventors to be tested and to be rejected for different reasons. Most of the rear sights mentioned in Brophy's book that were submitted for testing seems to me to be as good - if not better than - the 1905 sight.

    Please check Brophys book, pages 452 through 488.

    Yes!! this material will be on the next test.

    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.
