    Peened For Mag Catch?

    Seen and pulled this picture from a auction.

    Peened Trigger housing:
    Mag catch worn thin?
    Or Trigger housing worn down?

    Easy to change out a Magcatch, but more expensive to replace a Trigger housing?

    Thoughts?

    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 ...

    SHHHHH. That is the top secret modification magazine catch tighter upper. When the Army CID and the FBI come around we will tell them that your computer had been hacked by Russianicon agents trying to influence the 2018 elections. And if they don't believe it we will tell them your computer was playing....Russian poker music and it was in the National Inquirer so it must be true right????

    But I can see how it would work if needed to made the catch tighter to hold a magazine.
