    I have a few bits and pieces for older BSA rifles here, including a couple of triggers. Just PM me and let me know what you need. Also have a Majestic extractor.

    Yes, file it with a very slight forward taper and polish the surface with wet & dry backed by the file. Breaking the sharp edges also helps. Bed from the front edge of the mag well to about 50mm up...
