majex45 Posted 31 August 2010 Share Posted 31 August 2010 I've just bought a BSA Lightweight International MK II thanks to the generosity of my (working) wife. I now need a sling (preferably an old one - anyone got a Mexico Sling?) this is for classic shooting as it's all I can afford nowadays. I would also like to find a way of raising the sights about half an inch - does anyone have "raiser blocks" (I think that's what they are called). - I'm SO out of touch with rifle shooting. I'm still looking for accessories for a S&W 686/586 (firearm, not air - Millet sights, grips, barrel weight, even a pistol rug) and any info/bits/instructions for a Vostok MU55-1 free (50m) pistol.

tim s Posted 4 September 2010 Share Posted 4 September 2010 I don't think any of the commercially made blocks (i.e. Centra, AHG etc) will be compatible with the Parker-Hale foresight on your BSA. Centainly none will work with the side-mounted rearsight. You might try getting an engineer to make a new, and taller, foresight mount. There should be enough elevation adj in the rearsight to raise it to suit. There were a couple of leather slings on ebay a day or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try to make a riser block for the front sight (I'm a dab hand with a file) and see if the rear sight will "stretch" that far. I've bid on some slings on ebay but always get outbid (usually in the last three seconds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
