I know it's not Enfield! But a friend of mine wants some front sight blade parts for his Springfield 1903 A3 rifle. Where would be the best place to purchase on-line. He lives in France and there's not much here; so USA or maybe UK.
Any ideas welcome. Thanks, Zed. p.s. he does have a Lee Enfield as well! |

I have always had great service from these people and I believe they do international sales with gun parts:

Thanks guys!
I know nothing about the Springfield rifles. are the front blades different heights as with the Enfield's? My friend has just got this 1903, so I assume he's dialling it in. Are they more accurate than the No4Mk1? Only he won our Regional Service rifle competitions with the No4 with 179/200; so how much better can it get? |

Yes they come in different heights (5) to zero and the 1903 and the 1903a3 are slightly different there are also extra wide front site blades that the US Marines used.
I found three 1903A3 blades in "The Box" including a wide Marine Blade PM me an address and I shall dispatch them as my 1903a3 is zeroed

Wasn't one of the criticisms of the '03 its narrow sight blade?
