Le1 Volley Sights VS SMLE Volley Sights

[5thBatt]

Ahh I see, well I probably won't go for the Indian cuts-off as im trying to get it back to original spec, would prefer a British made one!
Thanks for the info 5thBatt and smle addict!

Nothing wrong with fitting a Indian made cutoff, i wouldn't hesitate fitting one myself, you can always change it out later

True there is nothing wrong with them but he's asking $50 for it and I feel that I could get a nice British made one for that price!

Sam, what make is your SMLE? I'll have a look in my tat box if you let me know.

Hi Roger!
Its a WW1 B.S.A New Zealand marked SMLE if I remember correctly a 1907 manufacture!
Again, its great to see you on this forum Roger, always a wealth of knowledge and help.
By the way, still working on those night sights. Im still in the process of drawing them up as I don't get much time these days!
Best Regards,
Sam.

No hurry Sam, we all have other lives as well as Enfields. I've found you quite a clean BSA made cut-off & cut-off screw. Drop me an email or pm with your address & I'll get them off to you. Unfortunately I couldn't find a volley sight dial plate at short notice that was suitable for your purposes, but I'll keep my eyes open.

Would love to see photos of this if you could please, a 1907 SMLE would be hard to restore to 1907 correct as there were a few changes made between 1907 & 1910

Will get some photos soon!

I note DS solutions now carry repro volley sight components for the SMLE and P14 at reasonable prices.
