British Wooden Carrying Handle Wanted

[peregrinvs]

Thanks for all the input on this. With the aid of a butt removal tool from DS Solutions and an unwelded carry handle retaining screw, my friend has succeeded in swapping the furniture over. He's intending to take a 'one will turn up eventually' approach to sourcing a wooden carrying handle assembly.

Apparently the trouble and expense involved is my fault as I told him when he got it that a 1963 Enfield would have started it's career in wooden furniture.

And the hinge pin screw needs repositioning, 180 degrees from where it is at present!.....Incorrect assembly!

Mike...if it was a Lithgow, upside down would be fine....but as its a true Brit...this needs to be addressed!

Yes and no.......like all 1A1 parts, its the same but different, quite different when you put them together.
