Luminous Sights for the SMLE

[Buccaneer]

I spotted this little sight on ebay and was rather intrigued by it as I had never seen one before. The "Lee Enfield" (thank you Mr Skennerton) only mentions it very briefly and does not show it attached to a rifle. After a little bit of head scratching, as there were no instuctions with it, I managed to get it sorted.
The front sight blade is replaced with the new assembly including the spring which is needed to keep the luminous post in either the up or down position, and the rearsight portion is clamped to the rearsight but I must admit it sems to be fairly flimsy affair and I don't think it would have lasted five minutes in the trenches.
