PH5C micrometer sight

[Boom-Boom]

Why not use a short metal thread through only the left hand side "ear" it'd be a lot easier to find than a threaded axis pin? I see them working very well on rifles every weekend at the range.

Because it will be used to secure both of PH5C and also PH rear base on a clone L39 Envoy 7.62.

Yes, a short screw works fine to secure the rear portion of PH5C when used w/o scope base.

Thank you for quick reply.

I am guessing you mean the PH BA20 / 21 scope mount bases ?

The L39 was not normally fitted with a scope, just an AJP 4/47 rear sight.

When I built my Enforcer clone I found that you will not be able to fit both a 5C or 4/47 sight AND a scope as the rear of the sight mount (on the 5c) will be covering the dovetail on the BA mount and you will not be able to get the rings mounted.

That is why the PH5E/4 sight mounting moves the sight rerwards by about an inch on the Enforcer - which did have both a sight and a scope fitted.

See how much further back (in relation to the cocking piece) the sight is on a 5E - first pic compared to a 5C second pic

I am pretty sure EFD (EDF?) in Kent do them - they post on this board.

Yes, we have them and similar screws for SMLE.

Great. As long as I could manage to get both sighting systems on the rifle, I do not mind taking off the vertical sliding arm on the PH5C when using scope.
When using the target rifle metallic sight, I could simply remove scope off rifle and leave mounting system in place.

I will check with short rear mounting screw for PH5C if I have enough clearance to allow for scope use when the sliding arm is removed.
