Question Regarding Volley or Long Range Sights on the No 1 Mk III

[Bindi2]

Valid comments and I agree completely. I have restored several back to last in service configuration as best I could determine it. My objective this time around is to restore it back to as issued configuration and I would like that to include long range sights, if appropriate, since that is so rarely seen on a No. 1 today.

One problem you will have is if the forend has been replaced and is not a transitional forend there is no palm swell where the dial sight goes. Finding the right marked sights may also be a problem ( they are not all the same) .
The other issue I see is you maybe devaluing a rifle by doing that conversion unless it is a total rebuild from parts in which case the value will never be there in a representative piece.
I dont consider them rare just not as plentiful as MK111* as I have more than enough in my collection of Lithgow and Brit rifles.
