According to Skennerton in The Lee-Enfield Story, CR XXX was a part designation for late production rifles.(e.g. No.8, L8, L42). Can you tell from the code, CR 670, which rifle it was used on and what time frame?

RBruce, My '55 Fazakerley has a CR403 leaf and CR318 slide. BSA's parts may've carried different p/ns.
As your sight still has the battle sight, I'd guess it's a part for FTR'd WWII and new post war production No.4s. I don't remember when the CR# came on-line.

It is a post war, early 50's sight with the Ministry of Supply part number commencing B1/CR xxxx. This type of part number replaced the previous Ordnance part numbers of B1/BE xxxxx. Later the part numbers were replaced by the STANAG number such as B1/1005-99-960-2258 and so on.
The B1/CR xxxx numbers were also suffixed by a two letter code such as GA or SA or just A (there were others too) indicating a general, sub of just an assembly.
Next question......................
