My no4 Mk2 Enfield is shooting at the right elevation at 100 but sights set at 200, with a S&B 180 bullet. My front sight says "F 03" on it, what # sight should I use for zeroing this load? Also, would any of you have a front sight pusher for this rifle, that you`d like to sell? Thanks!

As for front sight pushers, I just used a brass punch.

instead of replacing the front sight (it's really hard to find the right one, even though gunparts sells them, they just randomply pick them out of a bucket) you can just file the front sight.

Try BDL Ltd., Marstar, John C. Denner, inc., P&S militaria, etc. for an .015 or 0 sight

A word of caution, the front sights of most # 4 rifles, while in a dovetail, are held ridgedly in place by a screw that tightens the dovetail. Usually this screw does not have a slit, but a raised rib and you need to make a special tool to loosen and/or tighten it. Just whacking the front sight usually will not move it until the dovetail screw is loosed. A piece of drill rod with a slit in the end ( use a hacksaw blade) works. If your rifle doesn't have the screw you can forget all the above, but check first.

The NRA has a useful pamphlet on the Lee Enfield. Also check 303 british.com.
