We often had these stepped screws on the front pad after the soft solder had failed but the pad appeared to be tight giving the unit Armourers reason to send the rifle to us for 'fails to maintain zero' ...., which is the second to last thing a sniper needs.
This leads me back to Thunderbox's thread. That during recoil, the rifle AND the tele must rotate about an axis
Some interesting thoughts here. Two good-looking rifles as well!
Alan, you mentioned you made up an Enforcer clone. I am doing something similar based on a No 4 Mk1/2; what would you recommend for the buttstock? Is it just a question of looking round for a Parker Hale sporter stock, or is there a better alternative?
To make an Enforcer clone, you probably ought to use the list of Enforcer parts. Change anything, and you'll end up with a clone of something else....
L39A1 forend & handguard
Parker Hale monte carlo butt by Sile of Italy - "de luxe" version with decorative pistol grip cap and rubber butt plate ("supreme" version also has chequering).
Enfield chordal barrel with stepped profile
Parker Hale Matchmaker front sight tube
Parker Hale BA21 rear sight base (cut off the battle sight)
Parker Hale BA20 front sight base
Enfield 7.62mm Magazine
Parker Hale RAHS3 or RAHS4 rings, depending upon the tube size of the Pecar V2S (some were 1", some 26mm)
Parker Hale PH5E4 1/4min target rearsight with No4 adaptor plate
Enfield special extended safety lever.
The Parker Hale MC butt is a good choice for any scoped Enfield: not only do they have a good raised cheekpiece, but they are/were available in "XL" and "XXL" lengths in addition to S, M & L sizes which were an approximation of the military butt lengths.
Absolutely 'spot-on' - they are the parts I used - although the butt wasn't 100% correctQuote:

Thanks Alan and Thunderbox; should give me something to think about in the New Year!
