    The front trigger guard screw is BSF I seem to remember and NOT 2BA as you suggest

    Screw, guard trigger front 1/4" BSF (26tpi)
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    The bolt is about 6mm or 1/4inch so a 0BA or yes a BSF....

    0BA = 25.38TPI, 6mm OD
    1/4 BSF = 26 TPI, 6.35mm OD,

    Bugger of a job determining the difference in TPI on about 1/2inch of thread, so a caliper on the OD on it should tell us easier.

    I'll measure it when I get home.

    ======
    edit - 6.32~6.34mm so BSF
    ======
