Imporving accuracy with a No4 Mk1

[D-BOMB]

Hi Guys,

So here is the story, I have a No.4 Mk1* Savage that appears to have been rebarreled at some point in its life (It has a 5 groove). It is a fun rifle to shoot however it seems to shoot high and I am tired of using Kentucky windage, So I would like to try and remedy this!

I have found a set of sight blades on ebay that I could experiment with, but before I order I would like to confirm that SMLE blades and No.4 Blades are interchangable.

Also the barrel seems to have a very mild amount of play at the muzzle, it can move about 1mm side to side in the forstock/barrel band...Is this normal? It seems to shoot straight enough but it just the problem of shooting high.

Thanks in advance!
