    Fore-end cross bolt for fore-arm

    I have a Long Branch no. 4 Mk 1/3, which uses a cross-bolt to reinforce the end of the fore-arm instead of the rivet and strap.I'm trying to find one of these bolts, but I haven't been able to find one in any of the places that carry Enfield parts.
    Part of the problem is that I find myself lacking the proper terminology for describing the part. Could some one please tell me the proper name of this part? I would also like to know where to get one.
    Thanks,
    Rick W

    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.

    This should help. If it doesn't expand when you click on it, then just go down to the bottom right corner of your screen and make it 200%...

    Thanks for the exploded view drawing. I'll save it for future reference.
    However, it shows the standard fore-arm with the plate and rivet reinforcement. My fore-arm needs the cross-bolt with the threaded nut.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Someone delete the email above before the gent gets enough spam to feed a regiment.
    “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.

    Good catch Surpmil

    There are so many bots on the internet looking for active email anymore it's ridiculous. I've had this same email address for 15 years and hate to change it. I scan through my emails before reading them anymore, and I delete most without opening them.
