    Square S Flip Sight

    What do you think...is this Real ? I bought it then also found out its not for a NPM. So I either take it back or just keep it.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Square S would be correct on Winchester, early Underwood, Standard Products, maybe others.

    I did find some info in the Books, but found that 2 more Carbines used it in a '09 post.

    "The square S sight was not only used by Winchester but several others too.
    It was also used by Underwood,Saginaw Steering Gear and Standard Products too".

    Well, now that I will be starting my .223 Shorty build soon , I guess in a drawer it goes hoping I don't lose it. I'm Still looking for one for a NPM.

    I think I would send it back and get your money back if you can. While the square S stamped sight was used by a number of makers it was the predominate sight used by Winchester.
