    Springfield 1903 marked firing pin rod

    I found this firing pin rod some years ago in a NS bolt, note the drawing number ?

    I must admit, I have never seen another firing pin rod with the drawing number.

    Now could it be a National Match drawing number or just a late 1930's drawing number for a service rifle ?

    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.

    That particular drawing number is listed neither as a service rifle part nor as a National Match rifle part. That drawing number, however, is surrounded by National Match drawing numbers. So presumably, it's a National Match firing pin assembly.

    Thanks for sharing!
