PH5C micrometer sight

[Boom-Boom]

A perfect summary - I know from experience - I've tried and failed !!!

If you fit a 5C you cannot use the BA21 and scope rings.
If you fit a 5E sight then you can use the scope sight rings but you cannot use the safety.

The answer is - get hold of a 5E sight and make a new shortened safety (you cannot buy one - they are at least 10 shelves above rocking horse poo & hens teeth)

Thank you Alan for the perfect summary.

I wonder if I could find a 5E to buy or trade for a 5C??

Worse case scenario, I will have to fit or remove the 5C if I want to enjoy the peep with the excellent AJP MatchMaker front sight system, or the glass system.

Make sure that you look for a PH 5E/4 and not a 5E.
the 5E was for the Mauser action and the shape is completely different to an Enfield No4 action.
Few and far between and a bit more expensive than a 5C
Good luck

Repeat - it must be a 5E/4

I think we have some 5Es or TZs in the bits box.
