Watching a guy take a snap shot at a German with his No.1 Enfield in the movie “1917” I was reminded how relatively poor the sights were on that rifle and how much better they were on the No. 4 a generation later.

IIRC too, even as late as ‘39 the Germans still had poor front post/rear notch irons on their standard Mauser rifle.

When and where did peep sights and ghost rings come into use?

Tks.
