    Don't buy anything from E-Bay. They financially support the people who don't think you should be allowed to own any firearm.
    Homemade sight mover. Still has tooling marks.
    "...on a little bit of an angle and NOT parallel?..." Yep. The rear sight gets moved left to right.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The best rear sight tool is at Riverbank. They are kind of pricey, but I took the plunge. It is well worth the coin. I have never used an USGI one, but they are astronomically expensive.

    I knew someone would hop on and say that. While I cannot say anything about his parts ( I have not bought any, but heard plenty ), I can say that the rear sight tool is an excellent high quality item.

    Sight puller came from an Individual, did not appear to be associated with Riverbank. Don't get me wrong, if all you wanted to use it for was flip sights, it would work fine. But type 2 and 3 windage knobs fall below the plain of the dovetail surface and would not clear the top of the fixture. That's why I had asked previously if anyone knew how to dissasemble the windage knob from a type 2 sight without destroying it.

    A long, long while back I bought two tools from George at Riverbank. They were priced right and work fine. As for parts??? YIKES!!!

    as far as riverbank is concerned, as much as people bash him, why doesnt he have tons of negative feedbacks on ebay and gunbroker? either way ,just from the bad stuff i hear, i think i will just stay away and look in other places
