Hi There With your stated location, would I be correct in assuming that you have acquired one of the WW2 lend-lease colt 1915 guns - hence your quest for original parts? I have one of these guns in my collection (here in sunny South Africa  which must be one of the 1000 that were FTR'd @ Enfield during WW2 into British spec. .303 config as that is how it was when I acquired it. Interestingly enough I have found, also locally, a converted .30-06 feed block and two front top covers (the machining differs from the UK made guns and they have 4 digit serial numbers electro-penciled in - no prefix). One of the latter may be available if you have something suitable to swap. I can let you have the serial numbers in case they may mean something to you. Cheers |
