    You could look for a junkmetal buttplate marked "ILCO" which I think is Illinois Lock Company. A Victory Plastics (New Hampshire) scabbard/frog combo would be nice. Don't know about the sling.

    Mine leans forward just a bit. The base in Agambard's photo appears to be an Australian issued item for a Mues (?) sight. If it fits and works...

    This one has a two-groove barrel and a ladder sight grafted on. Converted in 1962 at workshop number 502.

    I did the hammer and vise method once and it worked well. You don't have to hit it very hard.

    Drift out the retaining pin below the elevation knob and pull the elevation screw up. Be careful, because at this point the detent plunger (or ball) and its spring will try to launch off the bench...

    A freeze plug sounds like it may be a reasonable starting point, but it also sounds like a lot of work. I suspect you'd wind up having to weld in a short section on the bottom. I think I'd just get...

    Agree with Jim. They appear to be the standard screws fitted during refurb at RFI. I don't see any nuts.

    India developed a spigot launcher for the No.4 rifle in 1944.

    Also interesting is what the same seller is trying to pass off as No.5 flash hider pins.

    That rifle has an interesting history-not many IP's around. If the barrel has not been cut and the bore is in reasonable condition, I think it would be a good candidate for restoration. And the...

    I've seen the wire ends secured with nails, screws or just solder. I restored one and it was a lot of work. Was your rifle originally modified for grenade firing? Be aware that if the receiver and/or...

    I'm not sure I've seen a definitive answer to this. Edwards describes it as "a coarse grained tropical hardwood similar to luan mahogany."

    Looks good to me. "EB" is likely someone's initials.

    Not Central, but I found a couple of these John Wilkes sights some time ago. The dovetail is angled correctly for a Lee-Enfield, presumably to fit the Mk.1 type base on a No.4 rifle judging by the...

    LPS-3 is not a lubricant, rather a anti-corrosion coating that will harden over time. You may want to clean it out and apply some oil.

    Doug, the screw should not rotate with the arm. I wonder if your problem is the plate itself. When the sight arms were removed from rifles in service, many times the threaded boss was ground down or...

    Slightly domed slotted head, 0.9" overall length. The thread minor dia. is about 0.13", so pretty close to a standard #10 wood screw.

    Been there, done that, still have the drill bit. Grind the tip of a 1/4" bit flat and clamp it in a tap wrench. Turn by hand very lightly checking depth as you go. Really no need for a pilot as you...

    I have to think that if action bodies actually stretched over time we'd see a lot of cracked ones. And we don't.

    Looks like the rear sight protector is reversed-the sloped side should be forward. Nice rifle.
