Source for brass rivets

**Smellymarkfive** · 03-13-2015 02:36 AM

Does anyone have a source for handguard rivets, especially the early rivet and burr type. I tried making my own but they didn't look close enough to the originals. I'm trying to attach the spring clip on a Mk III rear handguard, Help appreciated.

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.

Try looking for "tubular" rivets. Main drama is most will be plated. I'm sure a mfg. would do a run, but you'd probably need a about a stadium full of like minded folk to make it worthwhile.

They were made originally by a little firm in Aylesbury - as ere the No4 handguard rivets. Another totally useless bit of Lee Enfield info.
