Volley sights?

[nhetzer]

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any idea where I can locate some replacement volley sights (just the arm for the front portion and the entire rear portion) for a 1916 LSA No.1 Mk.III. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm also looking for a WWI sling. Yeah, I know, no small order! This is my first Enfield and I've got the fever pretty bad
I was at the National Gun Day show in Louisville KY and found it on a table amongst a few other guns that a gentleman was selling as part of an estate sale. He said from what the family told him, it has been in a gun case in the closet for as long as anyone can remember. It is all matching, including the stock and bolt. It was caked in cosmoline and it appears to have no arsenal refurb marks on it. The bore is beautiful and shiny and it shoots like a champ. So I would like to take care of this gun and at least get the parts that were on it originally from the factory. So again, if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful!

WW1 authentic leather slings used to come from IMA in shotgun news, maybe they're still available, I bought one, its the real deal,
rear volley sight arms and other bits were at Numrich.com last I looked.

Otherwise, gunbroker.com and fleecebay.

Nice find, and good onya for getting the bug, the first of many...

Contact EFD if you need the screw. They are near perfect replacements.
If lacking the proper 'hourglass' spring washer, a small O-ring beneath the screw head will serve as a quick fix to keep the pointer from flopping around.

Just a caveat here, You may also need the dial plate. When the arm was removed, the next step was to grind the stud it was mounted on almost flush with the dial plate.

Thanks for the info everybody. I've been to most of the places you suggested but a few were new to me. The dial plate looks intact but I'll have a closer look at it again. I just assumed it was ok but I had no idea about the grinding. Once again, thank you everyone!

Has anybody got a pic of what the stud should look like without the arm?

I guess that this P14 is similar?

There must be some way of knocking out the brass, ground-down centre piece and replacing it with a new piece with the stud cuts?
