Found a sporterized 1906 SMLE Mk.I*** this week. No charger bridge (at first glance, I thought it was a Lee Metford). No pitting and the bore looks pretty good after being scrubbed a bit. An interesting rifle, it has the issue rear sight, with windage adjustment, but it seems like the front sight has been modified somehow. The rear volley sight was removed and the forestock shows no sign of the front volley sight.

Suggestions on where to find Lee Speed type front and rear express sight combination? I'll likely have the current sights removed and perhaps put up for sale. I did look at the Boyd stocks and will be putting in an order shortly.

More to come ...
