| Thing is the rest of the rifle doesn't seem to have the same workmanship so I figured this was a purchased part.

| I don't know but I need one for a rifle I have that gives light strikes (converted to cock-on-open). |

| Don,
I thought I had seen most of these conversions, but this is a new one for me. I usually welded up the cam in the bolt and recut for the cock on opening. Is this a new machined shroud with a longer threaded section?
Could you place this shroud next to a standard enfield rear shroud and photo for a better view? |

I agree 100%. I can't understand this "fetish" for cock on opening. I prefer a rifle where ALL the camming action on opening is used on the extraction of the fired case. |

Les, I'll get so more pics later, but here is one I had on the computer already. It loks as there was just a groove cut in the factory shroud. Also looks as the original cocking piece was used too. Don   |
