Post number 16 in our threads below...read "Both SMLE and No4 are .250" diameter and have "fine" threads.
HOWEVER: SMLE thread is 1/4" x30 TPI "Enfield Special"; No4 is 1/4" x 26.
What would a No.1 Mk. 3 Firing Pin thread be? I have one that will not fit any of 5 Cocking Pieces.
You probably have a No4 striker which is a BSF thread & which is a different size and profile to the Enfield/Whitworth form
As Jim says - a different tpi.

Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
