Part ID Help!!

Hello Everyone,

I was just wondering if someone can help me ID this part that I am sure came off my No 1 MK 3. I took it all apart and cleaned off the cosmo, function check came out good. But I dont like a part missing from my rifle. Can someone help, I looked at every schematic I could find and can't seem to find it on any of them.

Thanks,

It is Indian. Goes under the nose cap with the tab to the rear.

It is a tab that the Indians used to help stop the wire coils slipping forward off the stock of a grenade-launcher SMLE. The late Indian nosecaps have no piling swivel boss, and use this tab instead.

It's amazing the things that you can learn on this sight................ Who'd have even thought of that?

Peter I was thinking of the same thing. :D

Thanks for the help everyone
