I'm new here just wondering what's all going on. I have a No.4 MkI of Long Branch manufacture. I';m always on the look out for stuff for it.

Mate you've got the bug ! It starts with one Enfield & then you go
down hill from there ! I'm lucky enough to be in a country where there
are thousands of em ! I've always used the .303 Brit as a Working
cartridge (as well as many off it's off spring 270-303,25-303 mainly )
I've shot everything from Water Buffalo to Rabbits with Enfields &
although over the years I have used more moden & heavier rounds
& rifles there has always been a Enfield there in camp as a back up
! My Main stay is a Mk1 (1902) that is
on her 8th barrel & is due to be revamped shortly back to origanial
condition (I sporterized her back in the dark ages ) I'll probarly
replace her with a Pat14 (but then again my Gun Guy has a safe full of
Mk111s )

If you have the flip sights (300/600 meters) to make it more user friendly, you can buy an OEM ladder type sight from Numrich (aka, e-gunparts.com) for the sum of $22. This sight has a large aperture combat peep (which I think is at 300 meters). You can then flip the ladder upright and there is a smaller peep which you can adjust from 200 meters on up (900 or 1000 as I recall). I discovered you can also turn the adjustment screw down a bit and although unmarked, when it bottoms out it will be where 100 meters should be. I can use the 6 o' clock hold at 100 yards and the shots will go in the black of your standard 100 yard NRA target. (otherwise the shots will be about 10 to 12 inches high from point of aim using the 300 meter peep at 100 yards). The OEM sight looks like surplus (Numrich buys out inventories from manufacterers that have gone out of business). Coated in grease. It installs perfectly (I replaced the tiny lock pin with a small cotter pin). |
