Enfield No9

**bros** · 02-03-2019 04:07 AM

I recently came across a No9 Enfield...the Parker Hale conversion to .22cal. It is within my sights to buy it. The metal work and original finish are superb, has proper magazine, bolt matches and forestock is serialized to rifle. There were a few issues thought...the barrel basically flops around within the front of the forestock......that I can deal with but what I really need is the rearsight with the correct 25 yrd slider....I have been looking on the net but info is tough to come by for these No 9 rifles. Does anybody sell parts that you might be aware of(rear correct sight). I realize that only about 3,000 were produced so not being too hopeful.

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.

Do you need a closeup photo of the sight--would that help at all?

Should be easy to reproduce.

I know it won't be original but a No8 sight fits and is calibrated exactly. The only reason why the N9 and No7 couldn't use the No8 rifle sight was because the configuration was patented. And BSA didn't want to get their bottoms smacked again after their breech of licence over the No8's to NZ icon

saga. That condition didn't apply once they were in service so all those needy No7's and 9's that went to workshops came out with No8 type backsights!
