    SMLE Windage adjustable rear sight.

    Hey all,

    So I have a Lithgowicon barreled action I was looking to sell but I noticed that the rear leaf sight is windage adjustable. Before I sell it off for cheap is this a rare varient I should strip and hold on to?

    Thanks for any input.

    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.

    If it is a Lithgowicon-marked one, it may have some value. If your barreled action has the cut-off slot and is dated prior to 1917, it might be better to leave it as it is, might be worth more as a whole package.

    Britishicon windage adjustable sights ones seem to go for about $45 on on-line auctions.
