Thanks for that info greasemonkey! Testament to the time travelling powers of this great forum! I was looking at ph16 sights until I read this post.

Although John Had one fitted to one of his Mk3's! Any chance you could put up some pictures again? I Happen to have 2 of these PH16's, planning to fit one of them on my mk3 as one of the many winter projects. Seems possible to tweak it a bit and make it fit. Need to tap the screwholes in the rifle as well. Futher suggestions concerning fitting a PH16 are welcome.
The PH16 wasmade for the B.S.A. Sportsman and similar bolt action rifles, they whant through 16 c,d,e,f,j,k,n, and of cause m for mk.3. Webley.
Here are a couple of pages of No.16 information from the Parker Hale 1954 catalogue:
Hi Dutch
Those pics I posted before were in Photobucket, They told me that I was infringing copyrights when I posted pics of my own Tag Heuer F1 clock so I deleted everything and closed the account!!
Some pics..
The eyebell was missing on mine, A work mate (Kamag on here) found one in his parts bin, I think he said it came from an Anschutz but it fitted perfectly, The aperture is adjustable too!!
BTW, Mine is a PH-16M..

Hi Dutch,
I have attached a few images of the PH16M. One of the rifles is incomplete sadly.
Hope they help.

Thnx Guys, good detailed insights! the challenge was actually to fit a PH-16 (non M) on a Mk3. I guess its searching for a proper PH16M then, unless anyone has succeeded in doing so? maybe with a bit of metal work it is possible.
I have a PH16 sight. Bought a year ago but never used it. Missing its eye piece, tried to sell it on e Bay but no one bought it. The PH17 sold quick though
How is it the same guy has just (almost) sold this for £125?

What subtlety am I missing?
Too many guns, or not enough time?
Yes! I worked the inside with a file, to adjust diameter. Made it fit a MK3 action/receiver tube diameter. in 90% sideways extension it is usable, not ideal of course. Next is to tab the screw holes, which is a more specialised job I guess. So far so good! Thnx for pointing out the Freeadds PH16m, silly price (125 quid) unfortunately. I'll keep on searching for one.
Some shots below of an old Mk III with a proper PH 16M aboard, and various PH eyepieces.
In my humble opinion, the PH 1 series is the best small sporting peep sight ever made. I’d urge you to hold out for this sight, as opposed to bodging up a PH 16 “no suffix,” which someone out there needs for his rimfire!
Fixed-opening eyepiece:
Sight flipped open - so you can use the open sights!
PH 59 “Midget:”
PH 60, this is the eyepiece usually seen with on the Supertarget’s PH 17M sight:
PH “Iris” leaf-type eyepiece, and gorgeous PH 72 eye shade:
