Installed The Badace NDT Mount For No. 4 Enfield

Today, in less than ten minutes, even one with two left hands and almost no tools like me, installed the Badace mount.
Looks good, feels solid and does not require any kind of permanent modifications.
In order to prevent scratches on the parts touching the mount, I used a bit of paper tape.
Tomorrow, I’ll go get my first optic ever.
I also bought the mount for the K31.
Will wait for the next Schmidt before installing it, since I finally got mine zeroed perfectly and want to keep it that way.
Sorry for the poor pictures. They looked better on the phone...

Now I just need to test it...

I’m having trouble grouping. My armourer tells me he thinks the alluminium rail is the problem. I’ll try something one of these days to get the mount steadier.

Good luck ironing it out. I just dumped one because it had me thinking I couldn't shoot any more.

I had the exact same feeling for a moment...

Absolutely right................only one way the Lee Enfield likes mounts unfortunately at 19T you can fully understand it.

If you want a good NDT base for your No.4, email Fultons of Bisley and buy one of their steel Picatinny bases. They are easy to install and solid as a rock.

I don't get that Gil...

Jim,
Solely a tonnage pressure test issue at 18T+ and the recoil, which will shift anything unless its correctly mounted and in steel, and a poor mount will usually pound the holes that hold a scope mount up into an oblong shape ;)

I'm afraid Ovidio you may keep chasing a group with that set up as the front will just act as a spring board, I have a NDM in steel but you have to take the rear sight off for the 2 locating bolts to go through, it tightens/wedge clamps also onto the underside of the charger bridge they are not a very long pic rail but solid steel I still have the 1-4 x 24 Leupold here ready to chuck on one of my 4's and shoot in modified class.
I had an aluminium mount and junked it as it was far to flimsy.

I found shooting them with their iron was far better than trying to make them into something they aren't. I have things that are designed to be shot with glass and perform far better.

I would have to agree Jim, they shoot much better on irons unless you invasively fit the scope.

Plenty of other bang sticks about for that ... Shoot them like our fathers and grandfathers did and enjoy....

I just wanted to have some fun with a scope:surrender::surrender::surrender:

I did that recently by deleting all the poor shooters that I have because they're bad for morale and took on a shooter that really works...then you can employ your scope.

Just took it off...
I prepared 50 cases, tomorrow I’ll load them and on the 1st or 2nd I’ll take out the No.4 and the K31 with the diopter.
I’m looking forward to a great start into 2019.

We'll be watching...
