Looking for a bushing

[Cdn303]

Hi all,

I am in need of a front trigger guard bushing (collar) for a No4 series of rifle. So far all I have found is one for a No1MkIII. Are they interchangeable? I did find that Numrich has some but I don't want to pay the $35 international fee for a 2 dollar part.

Or does someone have one sitting in a parts bin that I can buy?

Cheers

If they are the same diameter as those of a No 1, I can let you in on a little secret.
Many table lamps have a hollow steel tube holding them together. The longer ones are just threaded on the ends. They are the same ID and OD as the bushing in a No 1. Just cut it to length and you are off to the races. The length varies anyway so, if you order one, chances are it won't be quite the right length.

$3 at Marstar. Sold out, of course. I'd go with B_noser's idea. Pure genius that is.

I know Marstar is sold out of the No4 bushings, but they do have No1 bushings. Hence the question, are the No1 and No4 bushings interchangeable?
