source of target sights for a #4MKII enfield

Post by tarasbulba » Mon Oct 16, 2006 10:56 pm

Is there a source for target sights suitable for the #4MKII lee enfield in the U.K.? We yanks don't often see amny and they are really hard to find here. So if anyone knows a source and prices I would be glad to hear from you. Think Parker Hale made a couple different types. Thanks, Frank

Not a UK source but there is a bloke who posts on gunboards from South Africa who regularly turns up target sights.

Best of luck with it.

I have seen about 5 on ebay in recent weeks and one listed last night as new and unused which appears to have dissapeared this morning!

Here is another:

The seller is a fool, as that bracket would never mount it to a No.8. it looks like a bracket for a Mauser. either way, the PH5C is the best for a No.4. it was designed for the receiver, and the graduations were set for .303, rather than 7.62 as the TZ 4/47 of AJ Parker was. either way, unless you're lucky they're normally somewhere between £35 and £50. happy hunting
