    Take your enfield 'enforcer'/'envoy'/'enfield TR' barrel and remove the front sight block. Replace with reamed to suit No4 front sight block...solder...done...

    The "little book" I referred to is called "An Armourers Perspective"...it even has occasional drawing numbers and everything...

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Yes, one thing that Lee Enfield has clarified that I didn't make clear is that if you are using a fully finished Enfield heavy barrel as intended for an Enforcer, Envoy, L39 etc., all you need to do is unsweat the existing target foresight block as the front stub of barrel will then automatically be of the correct diameter. Measure it, bore your 1H (split high) foresight block to suit, & solder it on. Bob's your auntie!
