    Sorry Bill but I don't buy that. I have several modified M1icon housings that do not have the beveled pin hole that are on CMPicon carbines. If you ask the question on the CMP forum how many have received modified M1 housings that don't have the beveled hole you'll see they are not uncommon.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I believe you, but remember the bulk of the CMPicon stuff is from foreign countries. That does not surprise me.

    It sounds like we sent over items that were not quite up to date. That happens.

    Back in the 1970's I found many that came out surplus from Pueblo Army Depot. They were all modified with the bevel.

    The Trigger housing I have pictured here is long gone. I do recall that the pin hole was not beveled, but don't recall if it had the extra metal ground away under the sear.
    These are the only pictures I have of it. I had bought it from a friend who was parting out a CMPicon mixer. He hadn't noticed it had the M2 mods, so he passed along another.
