    "New-in box" Parker Hale PH 5B sight?

    I cross posted this on the Enfield forum. I recently ran across this PH5B sight which to my untrained eye appears to be "new in box". Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet...








    Anyone know if any jiggering is required for this to mount to a 1917?

    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.

    Would be highly interested if you're willing to sell it, also in the box plus the wrapping paper only. These are things that I'm lacking in my collection.

    For mounting the PH5B on a M1917 you'll need the bolt stop spring from the P.14 if you're not willing to modify the thicker M1917 spring. I think I do have some of those around, if you need one.

    thanks for your answer
    are these sights still for sale ?
    found one in the UKicon at" Helston Gunsmiths" ,they refuse to send it over the channel
    they answered was " no export "
    think they are brexiteers or very nationalist guys

    Jarmann, you're chasing a post from 2012. Go to the WTB and post an ad and someone will sell you a sight.
