    "L" Marked WRA Front Sight

    I have a "L" marked front sight and the Riesch book lists it as rare. Just how rare is this sight? Also what books are the best for detailed parts identification?

    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.

    I seen a "L" marked frt sell on Ebay once for $187.50 !
    I knew that N64atlas was sitting on one at the same time and passed that info to him. I'd bet he put it under lock and key.

    Still have it, may have to sell it as times are getting lean here in Ohio. May also sell the WB flip sight as well. Seems like there are more L marked sights than previously thought as few had seen them a little over a year ago and now everybody and his brother seem to have one

    I'm in NE Ohio. What part of the state are you in? I might be interested in those sights.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Jim,
