    Eddystone front sight blade

    Hey guys, I noticed in Martin08's thread about his as issued Eddystone it had a front sight blade of I think.075. First question is: Is that the standard sight blade for all M1917's, and question 2 is where if anywhere can I find them. All I come across are P14, and enfield NO.3 NO.4 NO.5 blades.
    Thanks

    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.

    That's all you need. Mechanically they're all the same style and fit in the same dovetail, but the markings may differ, depending on the intended rifle type. So what you do need is not to go by numbers, but actually measure the one you want to replace and measure (or let the seller measure) the potential replacement.
