Plus the pin is flat ended. In this case the pin is rounded although it is hard to see. The staking is very tight to the pin and smaller diameter than the staking on the fakes. It is also fairly deep which covers much of the end of the pin! The bottom of the sight also is very close to the bottom of the dovetail allowing almost no light to get thru. Fakes usually have a good sized gap underneath the rear sight. The spring is also the typical fire blue of the originals. And one more thing, the milling marks on the base are correct for a bar cut with a band saw instead of rounded like a chop saw as used on most of the repops. I have a good selection of originals to compare it to, so I'm pretty confident.
    No, I'm pretty positive it's a reproduction rear sight. Most reproduction sights don't have any gap at the bottom. Only one maker has a gap. All the others are flat.
    My sig: Consider adding IP/S'G's to my registry. I've found 3 sets of consecutives & WILL immediately inform you of one if you won't cut my throat like someone else did, I do it to help us both. https://grandrapids.wufoo.com/forms/zzlnt0519k86xs/

    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.
