Surpmil, My fault, but the '44 (T) referenced above is an unfinished/unissued BSA-Shirley. No doubt staking of the screws became a REME bullit point post WWII, but at some point during WWII H&H started staking the screws.

Now that you mention it, my 1944 "T less Telescope" rifle had staked screws, so perhaps they were all done post-WWII.

I can't comment on H&H staking them during WWII. Is there a source for this or is it deduction?

!n a thread (source unknown now) about the unfinished Savage (T)s there was a remark that they went to stores from H&H and remained there until SOS. Makes sense to me as my transit case is marked (T) less scope so likely of no interest. Possibly not even for the L42A1 conversion program.

A feeble attempt to stay fully on topic...If the REME had staked the screws post war, wouldn't the trigger guard swivel also have been added?

You would think so Brad, but apparently not!

My 1943 T has the staked screws, but no swivel.

Remember the "Olde Enfield Adage".....

With Enfields, never say never or always!
