    I have certainly been on the lookout for it tenOC.
    Heck I have a better condition IBM flip that I would trade to get the Vee notched flip back to its rightful place.
    Yep; when you least expect it.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    OK so what's so special with the front and rear sights being modified this way. The vast majority of them were done post war.

    Update on my quest:
    The buyer of the push safety sent me a message regarding seeing a J.U. stamped trigger listed on the sellers page, the same day the other parts from the IBM were posted. Using auction site advanced search, I found it.

    Also of note: The lot/tracking number seller used on both auction sites for the IBM parts was "#5521".

    IBM integrated ~37,500 triggers from Underwood between 9-43 & 11-43. The shipments, authorizations and or requests were documented. WarBaby! pg. 483

    IBM Model M 1 Carbine , 30 Carbine #5521 J .U. Stamped Trigger | eBay

    That would be the one I saw with many of the other parts from your IBM. Knowing what I know now I wish I had bought the mag catch too, it just didn't make sense given the price and the fact I already have two spare IBM catches.

    Okay, I am curious, based on what were the majority of them notched postwar? Hopefully, I didn't misunderstand your point.

    That would be the one that was mixed in with the rest of that IBM's parts. Knowing what I know now I wish I had bought the mag catch, but between the pricing and fact I already have two spare IBM catches I couldn't justify it.

    That's also verified in War Baby III, pages 1207-1208. WB III also shows a transfer of TH's from NPM. My IBM is a mix-master, but does have an NPM trigger housing! - Bob

    Thanks Bob. It's what remains of the KV-B sling swivel that Alf cut off.
