Enfield No2 Mk1** firing pin rivet question (probably for Peter)

**scoobsean** · 05-12-2016 11:24 AM

When I was firing my No 2, the firing pin rivet fell out. I found it, and tried to fix it back in, but I think it is too far gone to save. Does anyone have an idea for a replacement or a fix please?

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.

Just a mild steel pin .104" low, .106" high diameter. Must not protrude beyond the thickness of the hammer. Easy to make and fix

The pin hole in the trigger is slightly countersunk so a mild steel pin will just pein into place. By the way, the hole in the striker is slightly larger than the pin. This is to allow the striker to articulate slightly
