Parker Hale 5a Sight For Sale
Thought it might be interesting to show some of the various 'target' sights for Enfields available from Parker Hale. No-gunsmith mounting means that they use existing screws (no drilling or tapping) so the rifle can be restored to original if needed. The front tunnel was the early small diameter Parker Hale unit which took steel elements. I have more info and photos of this sight if you are interested. The sight you have fitted (and marked MkVII) is certainly a.303 sight, I would guess it is a PH5B (off the P14 rifle).

The rifle pictured is not included in this auction however it is at auction under another auction number and you can view all of our auctions by clicking on the Golden Bear in this auction.As is proved by the numbers in use this non-folding sight is unsurpassable for design, workmanship and finish. The knurled knob gives the fine clicking adjustment to the elevation slide, and the complete arm is quickly adjustable from, 200 yards to 1200 yards range or entirely removable for safety or for cleaning purposes by operating the spring loaded catch, which also acts as a lock when the knurled nut is tightened by finger pressure only. The windage arm is sturdily designed and provides six bearing surfaces for the eyepiece holder, thus absolutely eliminating shake, while backlash is a trouble of the past with the latest `married' threads. Owing to variations of shape of different makes of action bodies the secure fixing of an aperture sight has in the past been somewhat troublesome; by providing a special boss, forged solid with the base, to fit the majority of actions without filing, and a spring washer on a special fixing screw, much has been done with this model to cut down thistrouble to a minimum.
The adjustable scale plates provide fully for the exact zeroing for elevation windage and range, the latter scale beingset for a plus reading of 2 minutes on the vernier scale, when the sight is set for 200 yards, to avoid minus figures when elevation varies. There is a full 40 minutes of windage movement in both directions and it will be seen that this important scale occupiesa position on top of the bar where it has been specially placed to enable a reading to be taken when the arm is in the sling. The low build of this sight is, specially appreciated on ranges similar to Bisley, where a setting sun can only be shut out by the use of a broad brimmed hat, this expedient being rendered useless by a sight having a high pillar.We also have reloading tools, components, ammo, firearms and other items of interest up for auction. To check'em out just click on the Gold Bear.Here are some images from the Parker-Hale Catalog, circa 1925.Attention Bidders: A word about our auctionswe do not disclose our Reserve on a “RESERVE AUCTION.” The reason is simple. Disclosing the Reserve defeats the purpose of the Reserve auction. Disclosing makes it a “Sale,” for the bidder not an auction, much like a Basic Auction on Auction Arms where the minimum selling price is listed for all bidders to see. We prefer the Reserve Auction and the “HAGGLE” feature offered by Auction Arms.
