    Help! No4 trigger guard screw collar

    I have just discovered my rifle has not got one!

    So there is nothing connecting the trigger guard to the action.

    Where could I get one from, please help!! Is the part no CR344 or BB8579?

    Thanks, Steve

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.

    Try asking at Gunboards, they have a few more Australians running around loose.

    Guard screw collar

    These are interchangeable with the same part used in the SMLE. I should think there should be some spares in Australiaicon someplace. I've got plenty of them here if you don't have any luck finding one elsewhere. Let me know. ATB.

    Also, it's just steel pipe, though some of them are made from rolled sheet steel. A metal supplier could easily get you a whack job of it that you could cut to length as required.
