I am, shall we say, 'Enfield Ignorant'... so I thought I would ask.
I have owned several military Enfields, non-sporterized, of various models and manufactureres, but never got the Enfield 'bug' uintil I came across what I think
is a No. 1 [???] Mk. III*, (but what do I know?), which was converted by Navy
Arms into a .45-70 Gov't- Yes, I am one of those .45-70 nuts.
I hope the two action pictures post corecly, and are large enough to ID!

The problem is a horrible commercial rear sight on the barrel, and the need for
a proper Receiver/Peep Sight.
In that vein, I have been searching for a correct Receiver Sight that does not
require modification to the receiver, so, I think, Parker Hale and/or BSA is what
I seek. But I know not where to look, as my last internet search turned up less
than helpful links.
I tried to search the Forums, but, with some 15-kadrillion pages, well...
One person at a local Gun Club said this:
"... Parker-Hale 5A, Australianmade Central No. 4s are the most popular, common,
pricey backsights out there."
Any suggestions on where to turn are greatly appreciated!Information
