    Rather than going for the 'short bolt' mounting (at the rear of the PH5C that goes thru the original rear sight mounting holes) you have gone for the full length bolt.

    This can cause problems,...

    I think you may be looking at my SKN 'rifle' which I posted to show the similarity in the 'slot'.
    I cannot see the top of the action in the OPs picture.

    I've never seen that before.
    It almost looks like the start of making it into a SKN rifle.

    I realise this isn't what you were referring to but the No1 MkIII ejector screw is NOT the same as the No4 ejector screw.

    The No1 MkIII ejector screw is a 'special' Enfield thread.

    The size you need is 3BA, but the length will be determined by the thickness of the sight mounting bracket.
    The screw tip should have a slight angle ground onto it so that the 'angled flat points...

    It only comes into play if you have an FTF.
    As hayboy says - the "drag" of the case rim on the inside of the body is insufficient to flick the weight of an unfired cartridge out. The ejector screw...

    The Fazkerley quality was bad enough when they employed Monkeys, but it went considerably futher downhill when the Monkeys were replaced by the local 'scouse' humans. One of the problems was that the...

    I think it very unlikely that such a thing would happen in the British Army (maybe the Colonials, who didn't always obey the rules, might have done it).

    From 1925 the body (action) is the 'master...

    That is generally stamped by an Armourer to show rust in the barrel.

    Rifle still usable but is to let the Sergeant know that the soldier will not be able to get a nice clean, shiney barrel.

    Wasn't the No53 scope capable of being converted to a No32?
    Wasn't the No53 the scope that Peter Laidler says 'always buy it' as the optics etc could be used in a scrap No32 ?

    They are both based on the No4 rifle, and as stated in post #18 they do bear on the front face.

    The original question is about an LSA (Lee Metford Mk11) which does NOT bear on the front face.

    Don't forget that the MOA of each click will also depend on to which rifle the sight is fitted, and varies by the sight radius.

    That certainly appears to be an oddity, normally you won't find any Mk1* in the low serial numbers because the 1st (approximatley) 120,000 rifle Savage produced were No4 Mk1 (without the alteration...
