    I "screwed" up.

    Disassembled by Remington M1917. I was really careful with the parts...sure I was. I'm reassembling and it appears that my safety lock holder screw is missing. It is a tiny thing and it must have been thrown out with the bathwater. I still can't believe I did it.

    Are these parts available anywhere? If not, would someone measure their screw and let me know the dimensions. Perhaps I can find a replacement.

    Thanks and God bless.

    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.

    Since Gunparts seems to be sold out maybe a WTB could glean the part from here...? Lots of them on this forum...maybe Chuckindenver has one? He works on them lots...

    Thanks. I posted a WTB. I just looked on ebay and one is for sale for almost 3x's the cost at Gunparts. Not sure what to do.

    Try Popperts Gun Parts, they have it listed.
    Item # E00043 Safety lock holder screw $1.50.
    They do have a $10.00 minimum purchase and a $4.75 minimum shipping charge, so you might want to stock up on some other spare parts too....

    Yes, Springfield Sporters is still in business, but they don't seem to have the screw the OP is looking for.
