It appears that the two sight leafs are NOT the same length.

"The Pattern 14 backsight is 2.43" long and graduated from 200-1650 yards. The M1917 rear sight is 2.16" long and graduated from 200-1600 yards. The graduations are closer together on the M1917, for the flatter shooting .30'06 cartridge." I'm paraphrasing, but that is from the book (which I recommend) "Britishicon Enfield Riflesicon Vol. 4, Pattern 1914 and U.S. Model of 1917" by Charles R. Stratton. Publisher is North Cape Publications, Inc. He also mentions the serial numbers on the Pattern 14, but that won't change how it shoots. Apparently you are looking for an Enfield stock with "I E" on it, rather than just "E" as on the American versions. I'm sure the book would answer a lot of questions - and it shouldn't be difficult to get through Customs! CC
