Correct Striker Protrusion Gauge

**pcaru1** · 03-02-2011 09:40 AM

I was hoping someone knows where to get a striker protrusion gauge for my No. 1 Mk. III rifles or if one can be made at home. I would imagine it has a max and min. notch in it. Looking through Skennerton icon

's book it looks like a combo tool has a striker gauge on it. One of those would be great also. Any help would be appreciated.

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.

I found a photo of one in my files, poster of photo not saved. Looks to me a person that was handy could make one.

Thnx.

Anyone know of any good sources for a stripping tool? The only source I found was "The Gunner" in the U.K. I would try try to make one, but don't have anything to copy . Would anyone out there be willing to send me a trace out, rough pattern of the pieces and include measurements so I could at least get a rough model made. I can always re-fine and finish to specs. if it works out, I can always make more. Either a No.1 or a No. 4, I'm not picky.

Thnx.

Ian

Dont know how common these are

ickmann, there was a drawing in and old NRA magazine that I copied. Will post a photo of the firing pin tool if that is what you want.

If you do make one, just make sure that the tangs that unscrew the striker are TOUGH. Not just case hardened but TOUGH steel. If not, they'll shear off and that's when the big problems can really start.

And I know it's pretty obvious, but we've all done it............... don't forget to unscrew the screw, striker in the cocking piece
