Bolt head for Lithgow #1 rifle

[mhb]

Pick up a central no4, always on ebay, as good or better than the equivalent parker hale or BSA, and cheaper, also, SIA still provide a reconditioning service for them, much cheaper than getting a PH serviced at fultons!

Thanks for the tip on sights. If I ever decide to add target sights, I'll look for the Central. I have a number of match rifles, per-se, but like to keep most of my service rifles in as-issued condition (while getting the best performance I can out of them).
As for the current #1 Mk 3* 'project' rifle; a friend has advised me that he believes he has a windage-adjustable rear sight assembly he doesn't need (he also has a nice assortment of Lee-Speed match rifles), and another friend helped me to find a source for NOS windage adjustable rear sights, also. One way or another, I should be able to complete the project as envisioned. Friend One will be back from the Big Sandy machinegun shoot Monday, so I'll check with him first.
