I found a Triggerguard for my NPM

[sakorick]

I found a Type II triggerguard for my NPM marked N 9. Please don't tell me it's the wrong one as that hammer spring is a tough cookie. What would be a correct band for SN 4310126? It's got a AMCO band on it now. Regards, Rick.

If your trying to match the trigger housing to be correct for your serial number then the N 9 is not right as it was used about spring time 1943. Your serial number would be closer to the end of production in April 1944. A correct one would be marked N 14 or maybe even N 16. As to your barrel band a type 2 band without the lug unmarked would be correct for your serial number.

I have never seen a picture of a original NPM with a type 2 band. Anybody got a picture of one?

Hello Bruce. Is there any documentation to support this? The guy who sold it to me cited a source that said the type II was correct for my SN. I am not a happy camper right now. Regards, Rick.

Riesch's book says that a type II trigger housing, and a type II unmarked barrel band are correct for your serial number. However, Riesch does not say what N# should be correct for your serial number. Bruce obviosly has the info that would tell what approx N# is correct.

For SN 4310126 you need an N 16 trigger housing and a type 1 band with the wide sling swivel.

Thanks, however, without a reference on the trigger housing, I'm screwed. Regards, Rick.

Rick,

You asked for information, and Brian gave it to you. Then you question "without a reference". In this case, Brian is being your reference.

You might ask where he found this out? Years of experience and hands on, reading, joining a club. A good club to consider might be the Carbine Club. Then you could consider purchasing the back issues of the newsletters. Too much information to list here. And as new things were found out, they were discussed in the newsletters and updated. Back issues currently are $280. Sounds like a lot, but isn't. That is 34 years of newsletters. Comes out to about $8.25 a year. A bargain. We paid more then that if you total our yearly memberships dues for the same time frame. And the reading will keep you fascinated and busy for quite a while.
