enfield rear sight insert?
i am wondering if anybody has tried to make the rear sight hole smaller on the distance adjustable flip up sight? some sort of insert maybe? something from a hardware store? im thinking like some sort of small brass something. i would like to make it almost like a target sight.
thanks!

Drill and tap it to the size of a PH adjustable iris or get another sight to prevent buggering up a good rifle sight and do the same thing..... However, you will still have to move the front sight for windage. Why not bite the bullet and buy a PH or AJP rear sight ???? Then you have both windage and elevation and have not buggered up a good rear sight.

oh i dont want to do anything permanent! i just was thinking of some sort of collared brass fitting that was tiny enough to insert in the existing hole. i could probably get away with putting tape over it and poking a hole but i want something neat. i realize i will have to adjust the windage. but thats easy.
thanks again! bill
this is just an early morning thought

They're not correct for an issued military service rifle, they're target sights. With the correct model of target sight, no drilling/tapping will be required.

price may vary but your looking at a minimum if your lucky $150 for an AJ Parker / Parker Hale target site.

sight insert fo number 4
used an arpeture from a no 7 with a 10-32 nut, fits like a charm in most CMK3 sights

You can also use the AJ Parker 8/53 that bolts onto the standard Mk1 sight.

please excuse my ignorance but ,i have no idea what any of that is or where to find the parts you refer to.
i would assume a no.7 is some sort of sight?
as is a CMK3?
