The bolt seems to be working fine with the long bolt, but I'll keep this idea in mind. I have more screws that I could cut.

That is interesting. I purchased this rifle at the Central Wisconsin Collector's Gun Show. I was looking for a No 4, Mk 1* and this was the only one there.

By the way, proper screws for the...

Thanks for the offer. I'll keep your offer in mind. I have a bunch of BA threaded screws, and a set for a PH5A, on the way so I'll give these a try first. I was able to find a source for these...

Yes, I've ordered a selection of BA threaded screws, which are not easy to find by the way, so I hopefully will be able to come up with something suitable.

Is there a spec on the bump?

I've been looking for screws to better mount a Parker Hale sight onto a No. 4, Mk 1* that I recently acquired and I started to wonder about the so-called Ejector screw. All No. 4 rifles have one yet...

As I'm still figuring out the use of iron sights, the acquisition of a scope is deferred. For now at least, I replaced the MkII sight with a Parker Hale:

150 grain PPU. I don't think the ammunition is at fault. I'm still cleaning out traces of cosmoline. The action has been very stiff making me think that this rifle hasn't been shot in a long time....

I may of inadvertently put the rifle in half-cock during my fussing. In half cock everything is frozen. The question is why the bolt jammed in the first place. At least now, if this happens again...

I took the new No 4, Mk1* to the range today, got three shots off and then the bolt jammed. Couldn't rotate the bolt to extract the cartage. Went home and after much fussing I discovered that by...

Mannlicher, Austrian, on an English rifle, Hmm. I'm going to do something simpler and mount a Parker Hale sight. It has been ordered.

Assuming that I could acquire the parts I would like to know how it all went together. The offset is a bit strange looking. But, the bore is excellent so the rifle should be a good shooter. I could...

The rifle is not sporterized. All military except for the added bracket. Any idea who the manufacturer may be? It would be nice to mount a scope.

Just acquired this Savage N0 4, Mk 1*:

Can anyone identify the added bracket:

Ah, upon closer examination I realized that the front sight is in a track and the adjustment tool that I have will work to move the sight either left or right. What threw me off was that I had...

What does that tool look like? I have the one for the sight with the slotted screw, but that will not work with this sight.

Discovered something new about my No 4, Mk 1 Lee Enfield. Namely, I discovered that the front sight is not adjustable:

Yes, it is.

The rifle has a mixture of III and III* components. For example, it has the older cocking piece and the magazine cutoff, but the newer sight protector. The...

I'm curious, I have a Enfield No. 1, Mk III that has a mixture of blued (oil blackened?) and parkerized metal parts. The Noise cap, magazine, and bolt head are parkerized while the remaining metal...

Out of curiosity, I did a search for reproduction Enfield scopes and found three:

1. The Numrich, the original topic of the thread: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1249080

2. RSM, in...

Finally got these rifles to the range. Both rifles functioned well and I was able to load using a charger. Recoil was much less than what I had imagined. At 100 yards out of twenty shots I only...

Break through:
At least for this rifle, sample size of one, not only is the degree of bend of the front right-most tab an issue, but so is its shape. In comparing to my other mag I noticed that the...

This is what I did:

I left the follower itself alone. I compared the height of the follower hump to the one that was working and found them to be identical. I also noticed that the right-most...

I haven't purchased anything from Royal Tiger. Heard too many tales of woe.
