    If I'm not mistaken the rear sight axis nut should be on the opposite side, hence it might look strange for viewers.

    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 would not recommend using screws at all, it will not gain any additional durability and the technique would be more in the realm of a "bubba" repair. If you have the tools and skills necessary, a traditional dowel and glue repair would be best, and if done properly will definitely enhance the resale value, versus the screw option, and is the same type of repair that would have been performed by an armorer in the field or at armory.

    I will use wood dowel, for the brass screws my first idea was to hide them, you drill a hole just big enough to hide the screw head.

    The wood dowels are needed to help strengthen the repair against sideways movement/impact. The repair does require to be "torqued down" with screws which may result in secondary splitting, as mentioned previously, and thus a much bigger repair.

    You need to clean out the crack with a solvent to remove any oil in it. You can find small diameter hardwood dowels at the hardware or craft store.
