enfield no4 mk2 rear peep sight.

Anyone know of replacement rear peep aperture that is smaller than original? feel like im looking through a hula hoop

Take an inside caliper reading, go to the hardware store, and pick up a teeny o-ring that is just a CH smaller inside diameter.

Insert a small tapered pick through the font of the sight with the tapered end exposed at the rear. Place the o-ring on the pick, apply super glue to the back of the o-ring with a toothpick, then retract pick out of the sight. The o-ring will then be centered over the hole, and no permanent alterations are done. A little acetone will take it off when ever you need.

Not knowing which peep sight you are talking about and assuming your rifle has the original rear sight for a Mk. II as well as assuming that you might not be familiar with the rear sight on a Mk. II, can I state the obvious?

The Mk. II has two peep sights on it. The battle sight is large and it used when the adjustable sight is laying flat. However, if you flip the rear sight ladder up, there is the second peep sight which is much smaller. This is the sight that was used for much more precise targeting.

The two peep sights can be seen in this picture of an Enfield rear sight. If you already knew that and are talking about the smaller of the two rear peep sights then my apologies.



Other than that, what Martin said.

I found trying to group at just a 100yds with my No4 Mk1 frustrating. Even the smaller flip peep was large. I did some research about narrowing the peep sight but sold rifle to fund another purchase, also 303 was in short supply at the time.

Here's my research, hope it helps

Yes I have the dual flip set up. The "target" peep is still huge for my likings.
FRED that's a good idea with useing a o ring will give it a try. I also considered attaching a hooded peep from my AR just to try it.
