Having never tore down one of these rifles I have to ask what is the leather washer for? is it to keep the oiler from hitting the bolthead? and Did the come on all of the Enfield variants including the Indian versions?
Thanks, Bill
Bill,
Precisely. Leather washer stopped the brass oil bottle form rattling and making unwanted noise and damaging the brass bottle.
Trying to save Service history, one rifle at a time...
