ANOTHER SMLE Question - No 4 Mark 1/2

Sorry guys I have another set of questions for SMLE specialists. I've actually stumbled upon the source of my problems - including probably the bolt and safety issues. After I researched the specific model number very intensely the "light came on." Basically the lock works, safety, the furniture and a lot of the hardware are different from all of the other No 4's. I have a barreled action for the No 4 Mark 1/2. I had purchased it along with 3 others several years ago from I believe SARCO. I didn't realize back then that I'd have parts inter-changeability issues. I've probably built and refurbished 10 SMLE's over the past 5 years or so. This is the first time I've run into this problem. I'm having some real problems finding the specific parts I need for this model. I've contacted Numerich, SARCO, Liberty Tree and several other larger parts houses to no avail. If anybody knows of a DOMESTIC used parts dealer that specializes in SMLE's I'd really appreciate the information. Again - thanks as always. - Mike
