rear sear spring retainer keeper
Hi, I was an armourer in the RAF in 1941 and this piece of equipment has left an indelible memory in my mind. The "rear sear spring retainer keeper" was a very small piece of metal at the rear of the breech block of a Browning 303 machine gun, which - believe it or not - kept the rear sear spring retainer in place. I can't remember the shape but I certainly remember the name. Can't remember what I did yesterday though. I'm knocking on 90 and still play keyboard, entertaining in old age homes. I can play more than 2000 songs from memory - without even thinking "what's the next note" but if I go from one room to another I can't remember why.
All the best
Harry
