Replacement cocking piece for Lee-Enfield #4Mk1.

[ireload2]

I have a well traveled Fazakerley #4 that has a pitted cocking piece on a mis-matched Long branch bolt. I would like to find one of the round knob cocking pieces for this rifle. And it would give me a start toward making it look more presentable.

I am not sure but I think the round cocking piece is a No1MK3 part? I'd start with Springfield Sporters, then Numrich.

your right Lou, plus if you change the cocking piece to a rounded one you will need to change the firing pin as the threads were different.

I have noticed the round knob cocking piece in some of the #4 photos but I didn't know they also require a new firing pin.

They don't necessarily require a new firing pin.

Early No.4's from Longbranch, Savage and some made by Singer were fitted on early no.4 rifles before the slab sided cocking piece became standard.

The round cocking piece with no rust would sure improve my rifles appearance.
That is how it always starts once piece at a time.
Like my grandfather said when I get thrrough all that will be left of the original rifle will be the hole in the barrel.
