    I checked my Eddystone/Remington/Winchester M1917 rifle and it's trigger guard screws had been staked in the past....I believe that part of the rifle is Winchester manufacture.

    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.

    So you would take issue with the use of the word "center" as the punch is not marking a center for drilling?

    You could so, but then you are left only with "punching" which around here at least refers to punching holes in some material.

    So the use of "center" in "center-punching" is to indicate that one is using a "center-punch" (one with a sharp-pointed conical tip) to make an indentation similar to that done when laying out for drilling or machining/cutting.

    We all admire good workmanship, or should do, however it can be taken a bit too far at times, especially when there is a war on!

    I can't remember where now, but I read some reference to Czech gunsmiths and machinists working under German occupation. The writer remarked that even though they hated that control and all it represented, they simply could not help doing masterful work.

    It is extremely difficult to produce lower quality if you have been producing high quality all your life. It is almost impossible I would say.

    FWIW: Page 36 of the book "The American Enfield" by J. C. Harrison, shows the front action screw with the notation "Staked on WRA and Eddy. only."
