If one doesn't have a front sight pusher, may they safely remove a front sight blade with a drift punch?
Does the blade remove to the left?

Yes, but I'd provide lots of support the the sight mount.
Left or right, either works it's not tapered. |

Good point, check the front of the sight block for the bolt head. Looks like a reversed slot screw down inside a hole.

If it is a No 1 it is common for those blades to be peened and needing a touch with a file to help them loosen a bit.

Mine is a #4 mk1, no set screw. I'm sure some one needs the info, though. How does the #1 get peened?

It was prescribed for rifles where the site blade was a bit loose in the base, which happens sometimes. A center punch was used to put a divot in the sight base that would displace a bit of metal holding the sight blade a bit tighter. When I get some time I will take a picture and post up the example.

You'd have to re machine the bayonet lugs & barrel OD to put a flash suppressor on it.

It is hard to make a 303 sound like a 22 noise wise.

Hey guys. I have a 1942 enfield that was sporterized by parker hale back in the day, and as such, it has a parker hale front blade sight. I hate how it looks. Have since the day I bought it, and I can't find any info anywhere as to how to remove it. Anyone know how this is done? I want to install an original enfield sight with sight hood and full wood stock too.
