Afternoon all,

After revisiting the bedding on my 1903A4 build (A Sniper rebuilt A3) for the third and hopefully final time, I now have an accurate rifle that actually feeds the rounds into the chamber without issue, still I brought it on myself swapping out the repro stock for a NOS Keystone C example.

It occurred to me what a royal pain in the *** the Springfied is in comparison to my No4, with regard to bedding, I followed Peters excellent instructions to the letter with my No4 and it shoots like a dream, no feeding issues here!

The Springfield, well, tweak, tweak and tweak some more, to get the rifle to bed and feed correctly, such a fussy rifle.

I have to say the Lee Enfield design, (particularly the No4) just beats the Springfield in every important respect, the only thing better on a Springfield is the ease of field stripping.
