    Parker Hale 5C / 5DC rearsight

    I have in my possesion both the 5C and 5DC Parker Hale Rearsight, whilst I can find reference to the 5C sight I can't find any information on the 5DC sight, what if any is the difference between them and is there a "correct" rifle for them or are they interchangable?
    Many thanks for any information....

    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.

    the 5DC seems to have combined the 5C base with the 5D (shorter) windage arm. Enough for .22 shooting on No.8s but you might run out of windage at longer ranges with centerfire.

    That makes a lot of sense as on checking the 5DC has 1/4 minute adjustment, which is ideal for short range .22 shooting.

    Thanks, it's one of the first places I checked and it does not show or mention the 5DC which I suspect came along as a combination of the best bits of the 5C & 5D as pointed out by MkVII, many thanks to you both.
