1903 Serrated Trigger?

**Mike D** · 02-20-2010 07:29 PM

Hoping you guys could give me some quick info on this trigger I have. The front is serrated(correct term?) vertically and about 4 grooves near the bottom. It is stamped on one side C 64032. With Vi shooters site currently down

, and my Canfield book still in the mail, I need some help

. I'll post some pics after I get the kids to bed

. Can someone please tell me when this type of trigger was used? Thanks, Mike

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.

after 1932..closer to 1938

Thanks Chuck. I just noticed the first hump on the top of the trigger has been polished down smooth. I've remember reading a thread about how it is easy to mess these things up. Can you tell by the pic what kind of job was done and what kind of pull I can expect?

Sorry, it's toast. Someone did it to remove the 2 stage trigger. It is now a 1 stage mess. Sorry. Springfield Sporters has them new in the wrap.

Here is another 1903 trigger with the drawing number. I heard these are from the late 1930's

**Rick the Librarian** · 02-21-2010 08:59 AM

They started stamping the drawing numbers on certain M1903 parts in the mid-1930s. Stocks and handguards were two other examples.

**RCS** · 02-21-2010 09:00 AM

Are these both drawing numbers ? C 64032 and B 128428 ?

**Rick the Librarian** · 02-21-2010 09:03 AM

Yes, they are. Some people think they are serial numbers but they are "part identifiers".

**RCS** · 02-21-2010 03:22 PM

Could there be two different drawing numbers for the same part ?

Yes, when one was used for a service rifle and the other was used for a National Match rifle.
