Don't Buy this rear sight remover in E-Bay

I can get it to work, but gonna have to take to machine shop for some mods. Luckily I have a cousin with a big shop. But still a pain in the butt. It is built pretty good, but I think the guy building them mocked it up with flipper sights. Windage knob hangs below the flat of the dovetail on a type 2.

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.

LOL, Hey that's right, but I wanted to be sophisticated! When all else fails grab your hammer!

+ 1 STU1! Nothing like the good "old" way! I found this is a combo tool, also works on front sites. Just be slow and careful and a little oil helps.

someone once told me the rear sight should come off going towards the right hand side as you look down the barrel

**Rustship** · 03-18-2010 05:37 PM

That is correct

**phillydude** · 03-18-2010 06:23 PM

so i guess the dovetail machined into the receiver is on a little bit of an angle and NOT parallel ?

**davfink** · 03-18-2010 06:27 PM

that looks like the machine riverbank sells.

i bought the one that Dailey (folcmote) sells, and it has worked well, and my thumbs sleep better at night not being afraid of the hammer

Yup, the one from Nick Dailey works very well. It costs,but min risk to boogering the sight or receiver.
