    M1903 rear sight tool

    Attachment 29538Attachment 29537Attachment 29536With full disclosure that I have no business posting in the Gunsmithing section......

    Here is a little tool I made for removing and installing that tiny pin in the elevation slide. The screw is an 8-32. I drilled the end with a #57 bit to about .25" deep. I then lopped off 7/16" of the shank of the said #57 and seated it in the hole I had just drilled. That leaves just enough exposed punch to get the pin all the way out without being too flexible. Really better than whacking at it with a hammer and punch.

    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.

    Thanks Allen, that certainly does seem to be a much easier way to get that pin out.
