1933 Trials Rifle Rearsight & Magazine

[waco16]

Waco16 I'd say your only chance of finding parts like that now would be eBay or somehow getting the opportunity to sort through the parts bins at the major wholesalers, most of which are in the USA of course That said, I did find a trials foresight protector in a friend's parts bins once and years later the trigger guard surfaced from the same source, so never say never. Those parts are already on rifles by the way.

Got my fingers crossed - just like trying to find scope 3273. I know it was still around in the mid '80's

........and if you want to be seriously picky Waco, I'd ask people to find you a 6 click rear sight - both 4 & 6 click sights exist!

I thought that might have been pushing it a little !

With any luck the trip will be a little less "fraught" than it was a century ago.

I would go to the Somme as there is sure to be historical enfields to ogle over and maybe find one or two nice ones

not to side track the thread , i think its great that those that need the obscure and unattainable ask , it is how i found my mkV - i just sincerely asked , and made a great contact ,

its often that unasked for part or complete rifle that one wants to sell and another wants to buy that spends time in purgatory waiting to be redeemed ,

still waiting for someone to offer me a nice mkVI tho ? anyone ??????

and long as im askin - i still want a decent HAK too ????

The MkVI took awhile in fact a long while to find so will stay a while longer.

Neil, I've got a 1932 Enfield marked No4 magazine that looks like it's a conversion from a SMLE magazine. Would the trials rifle magazines have been converted from SMLE ones or newly made "proper" No4 ones? It's been refinished etc before I picked it up with a mixed lot of stuff at an auction a while ago. Pics below - Let me know if it's of interest/use to you for your Trials (T) or if not and it's just a bog standard converted SMLE mag, I'll hang on to it as a spare for my No4. Kev

I'm not sure if there are some that were converted but here is an original one that is in my 1931 Trials "T". Actually I believe it's made for the earlier Trials rifle but still proper for the later T. Ray
