Gads Simon what the heck is going on if its shearing the safety lug at the back I would be looking at the receiver as well blimey its a rifle not an artillery piece

Out of 30 No4 rifles I striped & cleaned yesterday 1 had the small lug at the back sheared off, ive seen this quite often over the years.

This is from the rifle yesterday, these rifles were still full of storage preservative, probably cosmoline from the 1950s.
