    Agree with everything you say. I guess its the fact that these pieces are now so old and the supply of parts is very scarce. I know of one firearms shop in Sydney that now dismantles 303s because they get more for the parts than the rifle itself. How foolish am I that I gave a mate two brand sets of these sights at no charge on the weekend. I guess once us old guys depart this earth not only is the knowledge lost but the spares parts get thrown out by the kids as rubbish - I know that has happened the few times over the years.

    Hello Mr P, Wondered when you would join the thread. I have been missing for a long time but you guys now have me to contend with again. Have over the last year or so always read the various threads but didn't make comment as I usually say the wrong thing but now because of my age I don't care .
    Must admit that I gave some "junk" away to the guy that actually purchased all my spare parts last year and he did pay a very good price for it all so felt responsible. Still have a couple of bits including brand new No4 sights up my sleeve. (you should know that )
