    Rear sight question

    Hello
    Just need a replacement rear sight slide for my Win M1917. I know that the Patt.14 and M1917rear sights are slightly different, but is the slide physically interchangeable between two models?
    Thank you in advance.

    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.

    First, thank you very much for the responses.
    I would be very happy if I can purchase an original Winchester made slide or the complete rear sight assembly, but the only problem, or not, is that I live in Spain. I purchased several "non critical" gun parts from Ebay USAicon and Numrich without problems; Paid with paypal or visa card and arrived in a padded envelope in about one and half week.
    If you have a paypal account and still wants to help me, please PM.

    Thank you
