jsmaye: Congratulations on the decision.
Your rifle looks really good.
Unless you had planned to have it in a private museum, will the various numbers even matter when you shoot this classic old battle rifle?
A friend had never used an LE.
After five practice shots from 50 yards on the bench, he sat on the ground.
Mike's first and only shot with my LE #4's iron sights (nice bore but far from mint) at 100 yards went into the center of the bullseye. He is a natural, and retired from the Navy M. Team, set some records with AR iron sights at 200/600 yards.
And my #4's peep sight is not as small as the peep in my #5 when the ladder sight is rotated.
