    PS I-44 is spot on. Were me? Once correctly positioned and shooting straight, I wouldn't restake. A drop of Blue loc-tite will work.

    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 ...

    Ya thanks. Net was with me just incase. But will be left at home in future

    Still debating about sight. National gun show in September in ky. That is the only show I I can get m1 garand or car one parts so I have a little while to decide. Also may look for type 5 trigger housing. Try to get major componets to Winchester just for fun and back up parts

    I have a 5.6 Winchester that is thought to be original. In the 5.6 run the rear sights could be either a type 1 flip or a type3 adjustable. I would think that by the 5.7 run they were all adjustable sights? You might be looking at the original factory rear sight?

    I have three carbines two are original (a 5.6 Win and a 5.4 Inland) as built. all have the adjustable rear sights. All of these sights are centered on the receiver and all shoot exactly to point of aim at 100 yds. The one that is most accurate is my NPM with original IBM Corp barrel and added type 2 rear sight. Before I started taking things off or knocking sights from side to side, I'd check the barrel index and the barrel for straightness. My point is that the upgrades done to these weapons should be looked at as improvements and they should be somewhat centered. That is a very cool looking beautifully patinaed carbine. I'd be very reluctant to change anything except what it takes to make it shoot straight.
