    Question Rear Sight Slide Catch Spring ??

    Well, I know that the part that I have is part of a broken rear sight slide catch spring. What are the best sources of parts for the M1917?

    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.

    You can try Springfield Sporters as well. They tend to have somewhat better quality parts than Numrich (less rust & pitting), but the spring may not be as critical (cosmetically) compared to other more visible parts.

    Can't. It's broken at the bottom of the V and I only have the flat piece.
