Please delete Mr. jmoores posting and reduce his post count by 250, Mr. jmoore is drinking CNC cutting fluid "again" and has extremely blurred vision and can't see the SAAMI and British drawing are the same.

Mr. jmoore and Patrick

Please look at the SAAMI drawing again, base diameter of the SAAMI drawing is .4601, .200 forward of this the case diameter is .4554. The drawing from the "Textbook of Small Arms" is "maximum" allowable dimensions and is in the section of the book on "gauging" the Enfield, the base diameter in this British drawing is .460 or .0001 smaller than the American SAAMI drawing.

You are talking about one ten thousandths of an inch difference or 2.54 microns.
