I'm taking a flyer here! I was looking at a really sweet BSA No9 sight on E-Pay, but the whole thing went wobbly! Prices skyrocketed & one of the bidders driving them up was the seller! (I think maybe the other one was a shill.) Then the ending time for the auction started varying between 8PM & 11PM so I bailed, just as well I did someone paid through the nose for it! Anyway I have located a Different sight, a (Parker No9, all the same Parker made BSA's sights for them) that while mechanically fine, needs a little help in the cosmetics dept. I just have to sort the details as it comes as a sight, a one hole eyepiece (no problem I can horse trade for that.) Between us we need to make sure I have the 2 sets of mounting hardware, one for the sight body to the mount, the other for the mount to the SMLE. GOT IT! YESSSSS! Trying to find the pics I was sent, but Yahoo mail is being a pain. Its coming with the 3 screws on the side with the naggered heads replaced the one on the back replaced the safety spring, thumbscrew, with its mounting screw, for mounting it on the plate & a set of the longer bolts to fit the mount to my SMLE! I'll do a cosmetic cleanup, strip (& a CLA as we used to say)! |

Yes it is! I actually want it because it allows me to pull the bolt for cleaning way better than my PH5A, but yes Steampunk is kewl.
