I had the fortune/misfortune to acquire a new pair of Precise Metalsmithing or P.M. Enterprises cocking piece jigs for a twenty bill . Problem is, I don't know what gun they are for. It's 30 mile to my home shop so I am taking the lazy way out and hoping someone here can tell me something about them. They are the 1A and 1C jigs. I believe this is/was one of the Wisner businesses and will try them if someone doesn't have a ready answer. Also has anyone used these and if so, how well did they work for you? I understand the purpose and use for them, just hope I lucked out and they are for Mausers which I can really use. Thanks in advance.

As usual, without photos it's impossible to tell. Might be for locating the pin holes in the 700. But it could be for the don't blow up button at a nuclear plant too.

Left one for 30 degree safety cam and right one for 90 degree sear. Round cocking piece, too small for Enfield so possibly Rem 700?

No hole in the side so it's not for drilling the firing pin retaining pin for the 700. Most probably for holding 98Mauser cocking pieces for modifying the sear surfaces. Kind of an out dated tool. I haven't had to modify a 98 sear in years. I don't think I have seen such a tool for sale in decades.

Solved my own mystery/confusion. I think! They are for 98 cocking pieces, angled one for a 30 degree caming surface for 2/3 position safeties and straight one for truing the sear to 90 degrees. Now only question remains is does anyone have any experience with them and tips or techniques for use?

As a recent retiree, with a bakers dozen of 98 projects waiting on me, I figure I might be able to put this to use

Aahhmmm. Weeelll l l l . Oil them and put them on the shelf where they will look pretty and create conversation and controversy and buy Timney and Bold triggers ?

Yes the # 1 denotes use for the 98 mauser cocking pieces.

The angled one holds them at the proper 30 degree angle for the safety lever on all the three position type safeties so you can surface the area for the lever to contact. Right hand only.

The 90 degree one holds them so you can recut the sear face, this could be used for many of the differenet safeties.

Will work for any of the 3 position safeties that fit on the M98.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Hey Thaine,
you may not know this, but JW actually IS, more or less , an expert about PME

Jeff,
That I did know and hoped he would catch this thread. I looked for him in the users list, but didn't think abut a space between the JW.
I don't think I was the brightest bulb in the pack yesterday. LOL

I make them a little different but same idea. Basically both jigs in one. I wouldn't of had to copy them if Jim didn't quit making them.

Jim - Wish you still made your 19mm dovetail mounts!
