Does this look real?

Look at the knurling! The knurling is not rounded across the top like my real elevation knob is

. This is the broad opened arrow one I need for my Winchester but I've some reservations about this. Anyone can make them look old and shot out.

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.

The seller says it is an early windage knob and is supposed to be flat. Maybe it is not the one I need afterall.

These are from 1941 Winchesters

The windage knob in your pictures is very different from the one for sale on eBay. The one for sale has the same knurling as the others only flat.

It is legit. Look at the image where the knob shaft is pointed up. The metal cuts between the 4 stops are always slightly extended over the edge. Typical of a late Winchester.

Here are a couple of pics of a Winchester sight with the same type knob.

No problem.

**Bill Hollinger** · 05-22-2009 08:59 AM

Thanks guys! Do you guys think it would be correct for my 2388849 Winchester?

No, it should be a knurled knob. Still a neat part though.
