11/44 ROF(F) No5 MkI with MkII rear sight

[Brian Dick]

I've had hundreds of No.5's through the years and very few fitted with wartime Mk.2 rear sights. In fact, I could probably count them on one hand if I could remember. It's a nice, honest rifle.

Mk.2 rear sights

Are those the cheap thin type sights? Not the simple two range flip...and I know what the Mk3 looks like...

The MkII rear sight for the No5 is pressed sheet metal with a flip up ladder that's graduated to 800 yards. It's the rear sight that's fitted to the rifle in the OP.
