    Questions re: Enfield No. 4 Mk 2 Sights

    I've recently become interested in Enfields and have two questions regarding No 4 Mk2 sights:

    1. Is windage adjustment limited to drifting the front sight?

    2. I am aware the front sight is available in different heights for elevation zero adjustment. I seem to recall that the front sight was also available in different widths. Is that correct? Was not a problem 20 years ago but these days my eyes have problems with skinny front posts.

    Thanks

    Jim

    The answer to 1. is "Yes' windage adjustment with standard sight is limited to drifting the front sight.

    regarding 2. - I don't know the answer so will leave it to someone that does

    I have fitted my No.4 mark 2 with a Parker Hale sight that allows me to adjust windage.

    The front sights are available in higher as well as wider variations. Numrich should have them.

    the government blade is 51 thou wide.
    Other widths are commercial accessories (and you won't find them in Numrich).
