Does it de-install by tapping from left to right or, either direction? Putting on an S&S higher front sight on a Winnie.

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.

OK I'll reply to my own message. Took a punch and knocked it off right to left, then put in the S&S one the same way, which seemed a little tight but I got her done. I haven't shot this rifle in 20 yearsbut am thinking of shooting it for my vintage rifle for the Texas State Garand icon

shoot.
