    gas cylinder lock screw

    Sometime during the mid 1990's i was looking for some early Springfield 1903 parts from S&S Military parts in NY. I noticed they had some M1icon rifle gas cylinder lock screws at $10 each, so I bought a few. When I got them, I noticed these were not common screws but very early variations and bought the remaining stock (6) from them. Also of interest, I noticed some of these lock screws do not have the bevel at the bottom of the thread. This was authorized in July 1941 but who knows how long it took to reach production ? Besides SA there are also Winchester screws in this group.Attachment 107830Attachment 107831Attachment 107832Attachment 107833

    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 take it the rough machine ones are Winchester? I have one here like that. The SA screw left with it's parent rifle a few years back...just a gas cylinder lock screw left now...one.
