Aim Corrector ID

**myenfield** · 09-03-2007 01:26 PM

I came across this aim corrector, but I am having a great deal of difficulty figuring out what it is designed to fit. Instead of slipping down over the rifle from the top, it appears to come up from the bottom. The fore end would have to be very narrow, and possibly without top wood. I have Googled aim correctors, and gently tried it on Lee Enfields, Martinis, and Rosses, but haven't found anything that seems to fit quite right. The only marking appears to be either an astrisk (*) or sold out of service mark, visible in the last photo. Any ideas?

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.

Interesting piece.....

It isn't a German wartime K98k icon

Zielspiegel (Target Mirror) Training Sight, but theirs did attach from underneath using a coil spring. See pics.

Here's a diagram of the training aim corrector for a No.1 MkIII Enfield.

Any chance the "star burst" stamp is East German?

Well, I dug through ~Angel~'s collection of aim correctors for Enfields and came up with the two below. So, I decided to snap a few pics for this thread.

None of what I have for a Mauser, or she has for her Enfields look like what you have, although the No.1 MKIII seems to have a similar mirror structure with the large X pattern reinforcement stampings.

War Office Pattern rifle, small frame Martini and several other small calibre training rifles. I have a number of these and the style you have are all marked with the astrix.

Warren ...

Do you know what the marking says on the No.1 Mk III aim corrector. I'm referring to the one with the "hand" being held up?

Thanks ...
