While I am working on my project Rawson sight, a friend came up with a PH5E just like the one in the OP here: https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=29759

Same clamp on base and all. He's going to send it to me as he has no use for it so I have some questions before starting this project.

As bubba has lost the detent balls, does anyone know what size they are? (With any luck, he'll have lost the springs too.)

Secondly, if the current mounting base is removed, is this 5E adaptable to the PH5E4 bracket? All the PH5E4 sights I have seen are relieved on the back side at the rear to match the E4 bracket contour. Will a 5E in this configuration fit a No4 action without that relief (on an an E4 mount)?

If it will fit, are E4 brackets available? I did some quick looking and I found one that sold on Gunboards in 2013 or so but that is the only one I could find.

Thanks
