    You could fill in the battle sight with solder and then drill a small hole. The hole could be a bit lower than centre, so as to make it better for 100 yards.

    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.

    Here is another way to make an adjustable rear sight. Get a bolt big enough to self tap into the battle sight hole. You may want to drill the battle sight out a bit. Rather than butcher a good rear sight, get one of those L shaped 2 hole affairs, and drill out the larger of the 2 holes.

    Using some lube and a wrench, work the bolt into the big sight hole, self tapping it.

    Chuck the bolt in an electric drill and then round off the bolt head with a coarse file. Smooth finish with fine file or sandpaper.

    Cut off most of the bolt shank with a hacksaw. Leave no more than a tenth of an inch of threaded shank. Just enough to screw a bit through the sight.
    Drill a 1/8” hole through the bolt, to act as the new rear peep.

    Drill the hole way off center. Counter sink the front of the hole, slightly.
    Blue the bolt.

    By rotating the bolt in the sight, you have about 5 to 10 minutes of adjustment in any direction.

    After rifle is zeroed, LokTite bolt into position.
