No.1 Mk 3 Firing Pin threads

What would a No.1 Mk. 3 Firing Pin thread be? I have one that will not fit any of 5 Cocking Pieces. Hoping to carefully tap the Pieces, I hope.

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.

Post number 16 in our threads below...read "Both SMLE and No4 are .250" diameter and have "fine" threads.
HOWEVER: SMLE thread is 1/4" x30 TPI "Enfield Special"; No4 is 1/4" x 26.

You probably have a No4 striker which is a BSF thread & which is a different size and profile to the Enfield/Whitworth form

As Jim says - a different tpi.

I've got lots of nos SMLE strikers if in need.
