Lee Enfield No.8 Spare Parts Source?

[Troglodyte]

Can anybody recommend a source of spares for a No.8 trainer?

I'm a reasonably good internet sleuth, but I haven't had any luck locating one.

If anybody has some to sell out of his personal stash, please DM me (especially for a firing pin and extractor!) , but I figured a post listing commercial sources would benefit several of us.

A firing pin and an extractor MUST be the two simplest parts of the no8 rifle to make. Simplicity itself. MANY people have made very similar parts for the little UK No7 rifle

That may end up being the only option.

Making firing pins may be simple, but it certainly isn't easy. It is also very time consuming and requires a lathe and vertical mill.

Here's a page with info on it, I too wouldn't hesitate to make them. https://www.rifleman.org.uk/Enfield_Rifle_No.8.html

Nope....... can't see what needs a milling machine..... The firing pin pin parts are standard bar stock sizes as is the plate used for the extractor. A bench vice and a couple of files and if you were really well equipped, a small lathe

Lack of small spare parts wouldn't hold an Armourer up for more than a few minutes, believe me........
