a question about Myths and Truths of No.1 EY Rifles (by Peter Laidler)

[Peter Laidler]

No, they didn't go FROM that (pic in thread 9) to the squared tie plate. They went from the squared tie plate TO the No4 type shown in fin 9. I would think that they decided, in their wisdom, that the tie plate idea used on the No4 rifle fore-ends PLUS the standard No4 rifle stock bolt (without the squared-off thread) was a better idea than the original tie plate that locked the stock bolt. The additional bonus was that it made the stock bolts and No4 type tie plates standard across the range. Just my view of course.

Yep, 5th Batt is right. I didn't notice the brass tie rod. Stock bolt keeper plate, brass threaded tie rod then No4 across the rear plate. I'm suprised nobody hasn't repaired a broken/cracked rear end using a No4 tie nut bolt and nut method.

But then it would be either an Ishy (Mmmm) or a Bubba repair. But then if it keeps the rifle in action why not.

I have some LE 1s with a cross bolt no plate, without checking they maybe private sale not Military. There is one range LE1* range rifle with the cross bolt
