I was given some stuff today that belonged to an old mate of mine. He was a shooter all his life and collected a lot of stuff over the years. I hope the images work, in all the years I have been here I have never posted a picture before.  Parker Hale sight, imagine my delight.  Ok, so its for a P14  A box in a box  Not a Parker Hale but sights none the less  For the No4 rifle  A Lane sight as well, not in the box though.  |

Oh no no no! You don't want that junk cluttering up your house, do you? Send the sight to me immediately and I will properly dispose of it for you. It's the least I can do for a fellow enthusiast.  ------------- Politicians aren't born. They are excreted |

It will be a problem to store no doubt but I'll manage somehow. If I send it over to you I will have to find a small box to put it in and wrap it, take it down to the post office, all seems a bit hard. Thanks for the offer anyway. I think the Parker Hale box wouldn't be that common, I wouldn't imagine people would've have bothered keeping them once they fitted the sight. Got a heap of other 303 screws and small bits as well and a couple of nosecaps. Looks like he must have wrecked a couple of rifles at some stage. |

Yes, I think the box would increase the value of the sight by a great deal. It's hard enough to find the hardware, let alone the box that it came in. Nice find! ------------- Politicians aren't born. They are excreted |

That sight does not belong in that box. The sight is a Lane which was an Australian made sight very similar to the Central which was very popular in Australia. I am not sure where the P-H sight went which would have come from the box originally. I didn't have a Lane in my collection so it was very welcome. |

Not the original box and sight? Yeah, definitely clutter and junk. You have a moral obligation to send it all to me right away for disposal. I can't sleep at night knowing a fellow Enfield enthusiast is being forced to keep a mismatched sight and box. ------------- Politicians aren't born. They are excreted |
