Screwdriver size for Lee Enfield NO 4 MK 1

:sos:

Can someone tell me what dimensions I need in a screwdriver to remove the stock bolt from a Long Branch, Lee Enfield, 1941, No. 4 MK 1, and point me in the direction of where I can buy one ?

Thanks

Lowes or Home Depot, Sears, etc. A big one, about 15"-18" long, with a blade end, (notch type, not Phillips), single or double handle, square shaft so you can put a wrench on it, should do the trick.

PS, post your serial number info on the sticky, and post pictures. We like 1941 Long Branches here.

If it helps, the slot is .090" wide, .135" deep and 3/4" long.

And there is a damned leather washer in front of the bolt.:bitch: Wich i didnt seen as i want to remove the bolt. It made a lot of unneccessary work.:banghead: Now i know this fact.:)

Is 3/4" the width of the slot that goes into the screw ?

Thanks for the tip on the leather washer. Do I need to remove & replace this ?

The diameter of the bolt (screw) head is 3/4". You'll need to get the leather (or sometimes cardboard) washer out with a coat hanger/dowel/fish hook/cleaning rod-everyone has their own trick. The washer should be replaced when you're done. It serves as a buffer between the bolt head and the oil bottle which is stored in the stock.
