Any ideas on a peep sight for this generation? I see the No4 has a good option but not sure mine does. Just checking to see if anybody has or what the best sight options are for these guys.

Not receiver mounted but these are a definite upgrade from the standard open rear and pop right in, no need to alter the rifle. http://www.mojosights.com/sample-page/lee-enfield/
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Parker-Hale made a receiver sight that bolted onto the No.1 MkIII, on the left rear of the receiver utilizing existing screw holes, over top of the safety. I can't remember the model number, but a google search should divulge more info. I had one many moons ago, and it worked a treat. I see them pop up from time to time on the UK eBay.

Yeah, that's the one I had. The P-H 5A. The trick is in finding one!

Willams makes a 5D and Foolproof series receiver sight to fit. Not as classy as a P-H 5 or an old steel Lyman but they do the job, pretty reasonably priced as well. http://www.williamsgunsight.com/gunsights/5D.htm
Keep your plowshare and your sword, know when and how to use them.

I used a Lyman which is actually made for a 22 and it works very well. Nicely positioned, compact, and effective. I also milled the front dovetail to 3/8 and installed a Sourdough front. GD

I believe mine is a 66. I bought it from Brownells about 20 years ago but I don't see it in the catalog today. It's getting to where, if it doesn't glow in the dark or say "tactical" on it, Brownells doesn't sell it. GD
