No I did not! that cocking piece appears to be off an early No.4 rifle, as I have tried to fit a MkIII cocking piece as a trial to one of my No.4's and it does not work it won't screw onto the end of the No.4's F/P

Yep, the SMLE threads are the oddball Enfield form, whereas, IIRC, the No4 striker thread is 1/4" BSF (don't quote me I'm speaking from dodgy memory - they're different, anyway).

You can fit an SMLE firing pin and cocking piece to a No.4 bolt with no problem. The threads are different so it must be done as an assembly.
