    Anyone seen PH sight knobs likethis?

    PARKER HALE RECEIVER TARGET SIGHT? | eBay
    The seller says that it is stamped parker hale, the lock nut is the TZ style, but any idea what these unfamiliar knobs are doing? Are these simply extended for height, or do they have a fancy increment/ detent system inside them? All very interesting.
    thanks R

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Nope - seen 'just a few' PH sights but have never seen anything like those.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    The photo is a bit confusing as the detachable base is upside down as presently attached to the sight.

    Don't know what it's from, but someone will. Definitely a factory job by the look of it.

    The vendor says the "Parker Hale" is only on the stem of the eye piece.

    The sight looks like a "Surrey" or one of the other types built by various gunsmiths around Bisley. Might be a Centra or other commercial manufacture.

    Looks very much like a Wilkes or Swenson made sight for a Swing target Rifle!

    Interesting with windage knob on l/h side, but still left side mount. Looks a bit smallboreish, similar lines to PH 2052 and PH 25 series with lyman style knobs.
