Anyone ever converted a Mk1 trigger guard to Mk2?

I'm having a bit of trouble sourcing a No.4 Mk2 trigger guard. Isn't it just a Mk1 ground back a bit? Has anyone done this operation before?

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.

I presume you are talking about the trigger guard for a No4 Mk2 rifle where the trigger is attached inside the action, as compared to the trigger guard for a No4 Mk1 where the trigger is attached / pivots within the trigger guard.

I’ve got a bucket full of them. How many do you need?

A simple WTB ad placed on the forum would have solved that one...

Thanks for the reply Brian. I'm just after one. I might try the classified section for the first time to see if I can source a local (Oz).
