Hello,

I have a front sight that has started to wander in the base. It isn't super loose but can be moved by hand with a little effort.

It's the solid style sight base (so no tightening screw)...

I spent an hour this evening shimming it and now have a temporary shim on the left draw. It didn't take much at all. This is giving me strong bearing on both draws.

I have also re-centred the...

I checked for this initially by lying the forend upside down on a flat surface. It lay flat with no wobble. It's also not a beech stock, very dark and looks like walnut to me.

I'm convinced...

Yes it's there, and it seems to be functioning as intended (eg. Not standing proud and the trigger guard is applying pressure to the wood not the collar).

Thanks for the advice mate. I inspected this area and didn't notice any humps. However whilst I did this I did a further inspection of the interior forend surfaces and found a clue.

On the left...

Hello,

I have what I think is a rather odd issue and would love some advice from the brains trust.

After much searching I recently purchased a nice No.4MkI. I took it out to the range for the...

Oh I'm no stranger to this. I've spent a lot of time shooting and collecting Enfields. I have come across some pretty crazy bubba examples in this time.

Like a trigger where the humps had been so...

Late update, but you were spot on mate.

I took the forend off and attached the trigger guard and bushing. The sear is being caught by the half cock but not making it all the way into the notch.

By lower band are you talking about the middle band on the hand guards?

If so shouldn't Numrich carry them?

I suggest shoot it and see how it goes.

Many years ago I had a Lithgow No.1MkIII* manufactured in 1919 still in its original wood. It had a warp very similar to this in the forend when I bought...

That's a good idea, I happen to have a box of spare parts, I'll see if there's a sear in there.

The forend was removed correctly. Bands removed, upper hand guards removed, then king screw, then trigger guard screw, and then gently rocked off at the receiver end. Put back together in reverse.

Thanks for the replies so far.

When I said it works as it should. I meant if from full cock you grasp the cocking piece pull the trigger to release it past the full bent, release the trigger and...

No.

By good cleaning I meant, removed the bolt, removed the magazine, took forend off and gave it all a thorough cleaning removing all kinds of accumulated crud.

I did not disassemble the bolt...

Hello all, I'm after some help.

I've just purchased a No.4Mk1 after much searching. The rifle is in pretty good nick, functions and shoots exceptionally well.

After a good cleaning I was doing...

Thanks Peter, I value your advice. Just to be 100% sure before I pass on this rifle I've attached photos of the things I'm talking about so it's crystal clear.
...

I've somewhat answered my own questions with more scouring of these forums and also confused myself further.

I am satisfied that the 'Z' means it was marked for base workshop repair and with the...

Thanks for the replies everyone, it was in fact ENGLAND.

I'm glad you replied Peter I need to tap into your expertise.

I have had a chance to take the wood off of the receiver and have a look....

Hello,

First post from me, so please be gentle.

I am currently looking a purchasing a No.4MkI. I've owned Enfields in the past and have a reasonable idea of what to look for.

This rifle has...
