    pre war bsa aperture sight?

    Hi all

    Has anyone ever seen this type of sight on a lincoln jeffries bsa improved model d before. It looks far too intricate to be an aftermarket job. The trigger housing has been milled but leaving a hinge with a small leaf spring. Any information would be great. Serial number is 30074.

    No 12 sight

    This was a factory extra with the gun...or...you could return your block to the factory and you received an allowance against the cost of a new block fitted with the sight. I have one on my Improved Model D...not many about since probably quite expensive at the time. No windage adjustment, supposedly set up spot on at the factory.
