as it a rifle type rear sight with ladder on or a simple v shape one?
many rifled 3 band enfields were converted to smooth bore but some were originally made that way......
edit....3 band enfields in original form are .577 cal but smooth bored i think they are .650 or .690 cal http://www.mlagb.com/wp-content/uplo...smoothbore.pdf
