    M1 carbine maker stamps

    I have a few parts for a M1icon Carbine that I am trying to ID the makers. What I haven't ID'd yet are:
    1. Safety, push type: "EW"
    2. Safety, push type: E-S'G'
    3. Recoil plate: unmarked with a casting line?
    4. Recoil plate: PJ on side of tang.
    5. Trigger housing: ST
    6. Bolt: A.I. and then perpendicular to that is a larger I or a 1
    7. Bolt: O.I. and then perpendicular to that is a 2

    Thanks for the help.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    3. & 4. recoil plates. Replacement? Someone here will know who.

    PJ recoil plate is a war time replacement and the cast unmarked one is a post war replacement.

    I have often seen these, but always wondered what the sideways numbers 1, 2, or 3 indicated on the left lug of Inland bolts. Anyone have ideas? I seem to recall that Britishicon Enfield bolts had a separate threaded endpiece that was numbered to enable adjustment of headspace.

    The numbers are supposedly heat lots. they get higher as the serial #s increase. The numbers on the enfield bolt heads are headspace indicators and are completely different in meaning.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
