    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.

    My guess is you need the tallest blade you can find, which I believe is an "A".

    If you cannot find the pin, one can easily be made from a small nail.

    Bill is right, you need to find a A front sight blade, pick up a small nail, that fits tight in the hole, and trim to length.
