Is there any way to fix the tunnel front sight on a No. 5 without causing permanent damage?

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.

Thought so. But thanx, Peter for putting me quickly out of my misery.

You might be able to if you removed the front assembly and got a distance piece made up and used a "modern" palma foresight...they are not very robust though.

Don´t want to make any irreversible changes to my already not very original .308 No. 5. Was thinking along the lines of changing the direction of the dovetail. I don´t need it as I use a Parker Hale windage adjustable rear sight. But even soldering the dovetail is more than I want to undertake. I should most likely just stop tinkering.
