Parker Hale early 5A sight

[Fremen]

So I have sourced the sight and all mounting hardware for it. But am at a lose on how to mount it correctly. I am sure someone here can help.

It would appear that I am missing a scale on it.
Any thoughts on how to source one?

Try http://www.fultonsofbisley for a range scale. They service and repair these sights and may have a spare. Good luck.

It installs using a long rear trigger guard screw and coil spring that replaces the standard SMLE safety spring.

If you look at the safety, you will see how it goes on. You remove the safety and place this against the side of the receiver and replace the parts that fit. The trigger guard screw has to be longer though I think...

Brian was typing as I was. He probably stocks the long screw.

I think I just ran out of them. I got them from EFD in England who is also out of them. He was scrounging last Fall to find me a couple for other clients They will probably have more made. Fultons probably has everything you need.

I already have all the mounting hardware.
Just this piece missing

As suggested try Fultons or look on fleabay for 'Parts'.

Email sent to Fultons already. Here is hoping.

If it's just the index plate, then it should be simplicity itself to make. A good sliding fit, two index lines scribed in place and an elongated slot for zeroing adjustment. Or certainly easy to make somethong to keep you on the road so to speak. Maybe someone can put up a photo of the actual plate

Yes it is just the index plate that I need.

Well.............. go on someone............. quick photo!

But your problems dont quite end there Fremen. You'll also need the index plate screw and from my experience, the thread could be........, well....., anything really! If pre No4 Enfield threads were a complete engineering mystery, then P-H sight were something from another orbitory planet!
