Enfield/Snider Barrel Band Retaining Pins

These band retaining springs were covered in what appeared to be rust when I received them--however, it was not rust at all but some kind of smelly yak butter (?) preservative that cleaned right off with a pre-soak in Kroil and a little bit of delicate work with steel wool. The finish underneath was free of pitting and the parts looked new, unused, and in the white once this was completed.
A real bargain, in my opinion!

All usable some rust but will clean up just fine

Rusty and never used. They will fit nicely after cleaning.

Just as described , the band springs are NOS. They were never installed on a rifle. You can tell because the pin end is still long for custom fitting. They did have surface rust which cleaned up with a wire brush and left the perfect aged grey metal patina. Very pleased.
