    Question Central Sight Info.

    Hi,
    Noticed an old post mentioning that someone had written about Central Sights.

    I collect sights as a sideline, (a rather expensive one) and have several Central sight variations;1. vertical enfield mount, pat applied for,windage scale to front,2.same mount, pat.4666 12.11.35, windage scale on top, 3. Bisley Model, vertical enfield/central mount, last pat. 1935, 4. several No. 4's, some still in use, although I have T MACs on my current target rifles.

    Basically I need information to keep these sights in correct sequential order, I hav'nt even begun to correlate my PARKERS, PHs, BSAs, LSAs and anything else that fitted a rifle in target configuration, and all the Enfield sights.

    Back to my original sentence, Is there anyone out there who can assist with my Central dilema ? Any assistance would be greatly 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.

    There is a guy on Gunboards (swede) i think his handle is. Has written a book and probably forgotten more than most ever knew about Central. Son who posts here ( a mod ) is in the know.

    G'day, muffet.2008.
    I'm just forty five minutes down the road from you, mate. Welcome to Milsurps! Friendliest forums on the planet, and best informed members.
    I'll get hold of the guy and post his contact details here. Looks like a few of the blokes could be interested in his booklet. I have a copy, and it's well worth the couple of dollars he charges ( self printed too, so there's bugger all in it for him)
    Cheers,
    Brad.
