My first No1 MkIII or III*

[bow]

Good morning. Yersteday my armourer showed to me a good No1 mkIII, i believe: It was BSA stamps on wirst. Rebarreled in 1942, it has a good 5 grooves barrel. But, why it has the cut-off installed? It souinds to me quite odd. My last question:
The trigger is a single stage trigger, the reason probably being a trigger guard poor fitment: if t. guard is far from sear, the sear itself will start at the second rib, so creating a single stage trigger. I hope today i will find a new No1 trigger guard and/or a new No1 sear. Thank you

So as not to go over a lot of old ground, I suggest that you take a read of the many threads on the forums about this subject and then post back for any clarification that you need.

The cut-off could have been re-installed far more recently than WWII. Probably an earlier collector. Not likely retained during a 1942 (or later) rebarrel.

Thank you, could yoiu Beerhunter and jmoore help to find threads about this particular cut off installation. I have some problems with "search"

Before you start work on adjusting anything Bow, just make sure that the trigger guard is FLAT

If you need any parts, just speak to BDL. He is on this site.
