Moral of the tale is never buy a vintage gun without sights as it usually costs more than the rifle is worth to replace them.
I just sold an LGR for £200 but broken up I could have made more selling you the sights and selling the stock to the other member on here!
One of life's little learning curves, I guess.
On the plus side, the rifle did not work when I got it but I really enjoyed resealing it and seeing it work on spec after I had done so. And I now know what a 'puffer seal' is.
