Lee Enfield No 4 Mk1 from an auction

[DJCee73]

Auctioneer just called me says when I picked up the No4 I didn't get all the pieces that were supposed to go with auction. It was supposed to come with a rear sight. He sent me a picture and it is a Mk 1 sight with an F on the top left which leads me to believe it was manufactured at Fazakerley. Should I leave the Mk 2 300/600 L sight on or put the Mk 1 sight on the gun? All in all a great surprise from the auctioneer!

The Mk1 sight is far superior (and will let you be more accurate), even if you don't want it you could sell it on ebay for $40 - $50 ?

Thanks Alan that's where I was leaning towards was using it due to better accuracy! 👍

I'd use the earlier sight as well.
