Parker Hale Sight

**TerryChambers** · 05-07-2011 06:21 PM

I just purchased a Parker Hale Model 5A sight for my Lithgow icon

No.1 and I'm wondering if anyone knows of mounting instructions that are available. It came with the necessary screws and a spring and my main question is with the spring. Does it go in the well associated with the safety shaft or the well associated with the mounting screw? Any help would be appreciated.

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.

The coil spring is to replace the leaf spring on the safety lever so the safety will continue to function properly.

It definitely goes in the well where the safety shaft extends.
