Enfield sight adjustment
« on: January 08, 2011, 06:20:07 PM »
I have an Enfield No. 4 Mk 1. It produces nice groups with the iron peep sights, but is off to the right. I have tapped on the front sight but seen no movement. Do I have to buy a new rear sight?

thanks

There is an aftermarket front site pusher for these guns Some one in the area might have one that sells these guns .

The No.4 Enfield requires no sight pusher.There is a reverse headed locking screw on the front of the front sight.Loosen that and tap the sight in the desired direction.

I made a reverse-headed wrench from an allen wrench using a dremmel tool to make the slot, that works great.  About anything else will ding it up.
