    L39 owners..... are you aware?

    Are you aware……..

    I wonder of L39 owners are aware that their rifles SHOULD be fitted with a specially modified magazine catch. The photographs show that the inner surface of the catch has been modified by the addition of a second slot. This slot is to enable the sear spring to be lowered slightly thus reducing the trigger pressures without affecting the double-pull trigger or adjusting the angle of the cocking piece. In effect this gives the unit Armourers the ability to reduce the trigger pressures to BELOW the service standard requirement in order that the rifles can be used in civilian competitions where a lesser trigger pressure is allowed. But, importantly, the rifle can be easily reverted back to service standard. A thing that couldn’t be done easily if the angle of the cocking piece was altered.

    There, another useless bit of Enfield knowledge.

    I am not aware of this feature being available on the Enforcers of Envoys, but it might be!

    Regards and Christmas wishes to you and all the family

    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.

    I do believe my ENVOY has that feature. Will have to check!
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
