    Marine Corps Sight Protectors

    The Marine Corps had a sight protector for the M1903 that was larger than standard and was designed for shooting with the sight protector on. Someone mentioned that there are reproductions of this sight protector available. Does anyone have a source?

    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.

    Exclamation

    Picked up one from Sarco last fall, you'll also need the sight blade.

    The sight you are referring to is the No.10, which was used by the USMC on the 1903, not the 1903A3. The front blade was .10" wide, hence the name. There is also a corresponding rear slide assembly with a .10" peep sight.

    Bill Bentz (dcm450shtr@comcast.net) makes reproduction USMC No.10 sight sets. Can't remember the exact price, but they're not cheap. I've got a set installed on my 1903A1 and they're great.
