    Foresight drawings No4 Mk1

    I'm looking for dimensioned drawings for the No4 Mk1 front/foresight so that I may make a new one with wide blade for a friend. I could pull the sight from my Longbranch but if the drawings are available...

    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.  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 ...

    I'm missing something... I don't see dimensions for the front sight anywhere in there.

    You might try emailing Fultons of Bisley - G E Fulton Son. What you're seeking does exist if you can find one and they'd be the folks to have it lying around in a drawer. I had a couple here for years but folks eventually bought them. I've also sold Bren front sight blades to folks who modified them for use on the SMLE and No.4.

    Make new..........! Why not just get another sight that's applicable to your friends rifle-split or solid, needs and eyesight. Cut the blade part off, cut a slot, insert new blade, sweat in place, make off to suit, 10 minutes work

    There must still be buckets of foresight blades stashed away in old gunshops, the cupboards of club armourers, etc.

    However, given where you live............

    Peter L. has the quick answer, though.
