    Adapter for a dovetail?

    I have a Golden State Arms No.4 Mk.1, it's a nice "civilianized" job (Santa Fe model 1944)
    The rear sight is an Express type in a transverse dovetail.
    I need something easier on the eye than the iron sights.
    What would be perfect is a transverse dovetail to picatinny adapter and a small RDS.
    Every search I try for "dovetail to picatinny adapter" gives results for longitudinal dovetails.
    The nearest I can find to what is needed is the Volquartsen Dovetail Picatinny Rail Mount for Ruger pistols, but the dovetail is too wide at 0.546".
    My dovetail is 0.375" wide.
    Anyone know of a suitable adapter?
    Thanks, all.

    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.
