    H&R carbine rear sight

    I have an H&R carbine that has sat in the safe for many years. I recently got interested in single shot BP matches that are held here in Michigan, and the Trap door is one of the favorites.

    I pulled my carbine out, and I remember that the rear sight looks like a replacement. It is a folding buckhorn type with two screws on either side of the notch which you loosen to adjust for elevation.

    Since the matches are at 50 and 100 yards, I am going to be welding up the front sight to allow for the shorter ranges, but I was wondering if the rear sight was what HR put on them, or if it was replaced? Anyone know what they looked like?

    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.

    Your rear sight does not sound like one that H&R installed on that line of guns. They eventually used several types of sights, but it is hard to tell if it is original. It sounds like a Lyman sight. I have two H&R Huntsman ML-TD rifles and they have different rear sights. Since you have a dovetail in the barrel, install any sight that works.
