    M44 Front Sight

    I want to remove the issue sight and replace it with the Lyman 17. If you look from the chamber toward the front sight, does it drift out from left to right? Thank you

    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.

    I have replaced the 44US post sight with a L. 17. The base on the 17 was oversized, so I removed metal from the sight base, rather than ruin the rifles dovetail. Than I stored the post sight in a hole I drilled under the buttplate.
