Thread: MUES Aperture sight for SMLE?

Does anyone know what a good foresight option is for this type of aperture sight, I’m guessing some kind of hooded foresight to suit???

They were only ever shot with a blade. Tunnel type for sights were not used until late 60s. There were some Motty and central examples with removable blades but almost all rifles used standard blades
