No4t Cocking pieces, which is best.

[Lee Enfield]

Question: why didn't the real experts - BSA and H&H, who actually built the rifles - fit button cocking pieces?


I'd be interested to see the data the OP experts compiled that proves there is any difference in performance between different types of cocking piece...


IMHO, its a military rifle and should therefore be rebuilt or restored to specification, and not to someone's benchrest novelty...

I think you just hit the nail on the head, who ever wrote that probably was exposed to converted Trials rifles and early converted Savages....which were mostly fitted with "button" cocking pieces.

Especially as I think the quote may be?? attributable to Reynolds.
