First time parts failure.

**Ed Johnson** · 04-03-2009 08:31 AM

Hi all. Just had a parts failure in my NPM. The top of the ring on the hammer spring plunger broke off and blocked my safety from engaging. I probably have put 4 to maybe 500 rounds through it. I have had extractors and various springs fail but this is the first time for the hammer spring plunger failing. Just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem. Don't know if it was a USGI part or not.

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've never even heard of that particular failure before! Go buy a lottery ticket!

Didn't know this was something new to carbine owners/shooters. Who knows...a weak piece of steel? Can't say that I am honored to have the first problem of this kind. Always something.
