I have been trying to identify this sight ladder in hopes of being able to find more.
So Lee Enfield Guru's is this some sort of sight ladder from a rifle in the Lee Enfield family of rifles?

Thank you for the information. I had pretty much eliminated it for my use--on a MH--but still was interested in what it was.

The sight would probably work if you fitted it to a .303 Martin-Enfield - ballistics and sight base would be the same as for a CLLE.

Looking for something that will hit on at 100 yards. I don't know what battle sight is for this CLLE sight but it is substantially taller than an ME or MH sight. The ME hits 10 to 12 inches high at 100 yards with it's normal sight.
The ME and MH need a taller front sight or a shorter rear sight for 100 yard shooting.

Not to sure about the sight base, the ramps for the CLLE are different to the older ladder sights.
You'd need to check and see what ramp the base has and it it fits the projections on the back of the CLLE ladder sight.
I know that the CLLE sight won't bed properly on my Long Lee Metford base ramp.
