    I took my M1922 and a cheapie .22 to the range sometime back. The cheapie .22 worked like a champ, the M1922 misfired about half the time. Have to take a look at that advice.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    dokcop, I can see how the shims could work. I have three or four rifles with the early type M2 bolts. I will check them and see if any have the shims. I may have never taken the bolts apart on these rifles. I don't recall ever seeing those shims mentioned in any of my reference books.

    I agree with cosine26's comment above.

    m2

    Jim: I did zero the rifle at 25 yds (indoors)…too damn cold to hit the rifle range… before the misfire problem was solved. It shot several respectable +- .75 inch five shot groups, (respectable inasmuch as I had to recock after almost every shot.) I'm hoping to get those groups at 100 yds when the world up here unfreezes. Last year that was mid April…

    Regards to all. dokcop
