    Here's a shot of the new hammer's SA sear and a little trick to deal with small springs. Place a dab of grease in the hole and it holds the spring in place for you.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Had a chance to bob the hammer and smooth the trigger last night. Bobbing the hammer was the old school way of dealing with a faulty SA or to make a revolver more concealable. This hammer I did for demonstration since it's not going on the gun.
    First just make the curve or line you want.

    I use a Dremel with a cut off wheel to make the initial cut and turn it horizontally and move back and forth to remove the bulk of material.

    File work to get the final contours.

    And finally 220 grit sandpaper to finish it off.

    This trigger is going on the gun and since serrated triggers can make you finger real sore real quick so,, grind 'em off.
    Again the Dremel this time with a grinding wheel. Just grind the serrations off slowly and stop. Then a sanding drum with 220 grit to get your final shape. Finish off with 220 grit wrapped around a wood dowel. Easy as pie.

    The beauty of stainless, you can polish it and it looks better than when it left the factory.
