    USMC sight set for a 1903A3

    I am looking for a repro USMC sight set for a 1903A3 SC . I understand they
    were made by gun smith named Bill Benz, dcm450@comcast.com. I tried emailing him but my message came back? Does anyone have any info on him or where I can find a set? I restored a A3 Smith Corona for my grandson to shoot at the Springfield Match at Perry this year but it shoots high. Extra high
    front sight blades are few and far between. Lynn Meridith CMPicon says the USMC
    sights are legal this year so try them if I can find any. I can Buba a blade but I really hate to do it.

    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.

    Just received mine for an 03 yesterday. $75.00. Came within a week of sending off USPS money order. Email him, he will send pictures and contact info in short order. He responds well to email.

    Sniper188:

    Bill's sights are for 1903 Springfields, although the front sight should work on an 03A3 with some modification. Another option is Ray Vin's tall 03A3 front sights, although it looks like he is sold out ot the tallest ones.......

    Thanks Guys
    As usual I screwed up his email address. If his front blade is .05 thk I will be
    walking in tall cotton, if not Mr Dremel will solve the problem.
