Thanks John. The K troubled me more than the S.
The receiver which came with this stock is 1934 Springfield Armory production mated to a Springfield 03-33 barrel. The bolt is stamped NS. I bought the rifle in the 1990s from a fellow, since...
I'm not to good with links but there is one on Youtube titled Enfield rifle NO4, speed shoot
by StantheGunman that's pretty good. Fellows using a No 4 from a standing position. Don't know what...
Thanks.
I thought the holes in the nosecap were for servicing the front sight without having to remove the nosecap? Also it looks like the front sight might be staked in place. There is a hole or dimple in...
Those were the two best groups but several others were close and all were distinctly right like that. Is there a trick to drifting the front sight?
Thank everyone for your replies. Well I just got back from the range. Shot a pile of handloads off of three sandbags at 100 yards. Actually, despite my previous moaning and groaning it really...

You could be right because, as you can see from the picture, that...
Son, Thanks for your rely.
I don't use the sling. Lately I've been shooting off of three sandbags. I'm going to take your and Peter's advise about warming it up first with 5 shots and I'm then...
Interesting that your rifle has the same A F marking I questioned in my post regarding my 1941 Lithgow. If you're going to shoot it, let us know how it does.
Thanks for your reply Andrew. Our serial numbers are pretty close together. Interesting that the rifles end up thousands of miles apart (I'm in eastern Pennsylvania, USA) and the owners can...
Thunderbox, The trigger guard screw is firm. I managed to get the middle band screw out and there was a spring inside. When I put it back in I can't feel it bite. It only seems to be loose or...
I've done that as late as last week. I have some South African A80 7.7 x 56R ammo plus my own 174 and 180 grain Sierra handloads. It always follows the same pattern and has since I've owned it. I...
I have a 1941 Lithgow No 1 Mk III* that was given an FTR in, I believe, 1955. The barrel is dated June 1955 and MA 55 is lightly stamped on the left side of the butt socket. The right side shows...
spinecracker,
You're welcome, and good luck in your searching.
This is my first posting. I've been browsing this forum for interesting Lee Enfield information in general and answers to questions I might have regarding my own 3 rifles. One of my questions...
