    Guard Trigger Screw Front

    I am looking for a Guard Trigger Screw Front with one of those big swivelly things on it (ala Enforcer, L39 etc)



    I have seen both No1 actions & No4 actions with these fitted but I think the threads are different (at least they have different part numbers for the original screw. BB0736 for a No1 and BB8611 for a No4)

    Would anyone in the UKicon have an idea where one of these swivels (for a No4 action) may be purchased . It doesnt have to be an original 'low' military one (where the swivel will not pass the 'loop') but it would be nice.

    Thanks

    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.

    Give Ds-Solutions.co.uk, a call or send an email and see if he can find one for you.
    He doesn’t have them listed at the website at this time but one or two might be hiding in the wrong storage bin.
    I ordered one from him some time ago and that’s why I have the photo.

    I've got one left in new condition. It's a repro with correct phosphate and baked Suncorite finish as done by me @ $35 plus post.

    Problem solved - took the easy way out.

    Went to an auction today and picked up a sporterised LB No4 Mk1/3 in 7.62 which had the required swivel, + PH5C sights + An immaculate Sterling 7.62 magazine.

    Stripped the rifle of all usable parts and told the auctioneer to keep the barreled action (shame - it was in very nice condition but I have no available slots on my FAC)
    Stick the sights and magazine on ebay and the rifle is paid for and I get the swivel for 'free'.

    Cunning plan ?

    Very cunning! Did they let you keep the bolt?
