    The front trigger guard screw is BSF I seem to remember and NOT 2BA as you suggest

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The bolt is about 6mm or 1/4inch so a 0BA or yes a BSF....

    0BA = 25.38TPI, 6mm OD
    1/4 BSF = 26 TPI, 6.35mm OD,

    Bugger of a job determining the difference in TPI on about 1/2inch of thread, so a caliper on the OD on it should tell us easier.

    I'll measure it when I get home.

    ======
    edit - 6.32~6.34mm so BSF
    ======

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
