    Firing Pin N-S or S-N

    Looking at a GB auction.
    I'm in need of a Stan Pro FP.
    My books, CCNL's and quick search doesn't return results.

    Did see a S-N or N-S Type I come out of a US&S NPM, thought to be a original carbine.

    EDIT: Top Picture is a Type II: Anyone have any info on these ?



    EDIT: Bottom: Another marked different, That I believe is a Type I -

    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 ...

    Charlie, I have seen the N-S pin before but just in a group of assorted firing pins. Like you I cannot find anything listed as to who made them. Merry Christmas to all of yours.

    Saw a couple of those a day or two ago on GB or eBay. One seller had his listed as made by NCR. I believe the other guy thought NPM made it for Std Pro. I didn't take time to check any books. Also one was listed as being made by Commercial Controls - thought that might be possible? - Bob

    I read the subject of the thread and immediately thought the question was whether the stamp should be read as NS or SN. Should it should be NS for nickel steel? Students always ask me why the natural logarithm is always ln and not nl - to which the reply is always that not every smart person in the history of the world spoke or speaks English.
    The top picture looks like it reads NS, as the top curl on the S looks slightly smaller - kind of like a 5 is no longer a 5 when upside down. Sorry I can't help you with the part, but maybe I saved you the trouble of typing the extra "or SN" in the future...unless I'm completely wrong in which case I'll learn something new, and thanks in advance!
