Thread: SMLE No 1 Mk3* Front sight adjustment tool where to get?

Can put some crc on a few hours prior if its a bit rusted up in there.

I get what you mean I’m sure it’ll be effective, to be fair my rifle was a cadet training rifle so it’s probably been through hell and then some, but something about smacking my WW2 era rifle with a hammer makes me incredibly uncomfortable
