Phew...........! I'll have to remember all that next time I'm on the range Para! I used to use the brass drift and rule of thumb method myself!

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.

Personally, I just bash it over a hair for a minor correction and a bunch more hairs for a major adjustment. (This is when one really appreciates the thoughtfulness of the Lithgow icon

folks drilling ear'oles exactly where needed.)

I took off the nose cap last night and moved the sight blade with a hammer and brass drift. Hopefully my calibrated machinist's eye moved it the proper amount. I also discovered that the nose cap was contacting the right side of the sight base so a few minutes with a file and now there's clearance.
