No 4 Mk 1 Long Branch rear sight option related to serial number

[Montgomery]

Hi,
Since few months, I'm working to restore a Long Branch riffle. This one have the serial number 7L8215. Now it's time to work on the rear sight wich is gone. Is there any data about the choice of the rear sight related to the serial number and date of production? Where can I find the proper information to choose the right one??

Thanks!

Shouldn't it be a Mark I*

You are right, I forgot the star. It's a Mark I*

It would have been a 300yd-600yd flip sight when it left the factory, but depending on its service life could have had any other no.4 graduated sight installed.

I concur about the flip sight.

Here is my '41 6L series LB No. 4 Mk I/I*, she came with the simple flip sight.

MJ, would the sight be replaced when FTR'd to No4Mk1/3 spec ?

Very likely so.
