Slide?
I'm not sure what you are looking for.Do you mean for a saddle ring on a carbine?

Did you also lose the spring and screw that holds the stadia(?) to the long range sight?

...you end up with Outpost 2007, which featured one handed mounted cav carbine firing whilst on the move...a CSA cav charge against an inf company that resulted in some captured feds (and we didn't even get to eat the presumably shredded horses)...company's manuevering as seperate battalions...a waste of ammo powder burning night fight. - RJ
Sight Slide
I lost the rear sight slide for my Enfield. No not for a carbine.

Is it an Armisport or Euroarms?

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a handsome, and well preserved body; but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming...."WOW!... What a ride!"
I don't know I got if for my birthday. On the trigger guard it says made in Italy. that's all I know.
It is probably a Euroarms as only they put the made in Italy on the trigger guard.

rear sight
Those Endfield rear sight springs and screws often come loose and get lost. It is a good idea to get three or four sight springs and screws for spares. You will need a little opticitians screwdriver to install the tiny sight spring screw. Those pesky items often get lost because you must leave the screw a little loose so the sight elevator will slide up and down. I would just tighten it up unless you are live firing at a target of some sort.

Unless you are live firing I would not worry too much about it. What would a period soldier have done? There were no spare parts for enfields unless they came from a condemed gun and then they had to be hand fitted unless it was a London gun. Many originals have lost their rear sight. Some no doubt were knocked off at the time.
Just a thought.
