After a good cleaning I was doing a function check and have noticed something strange. The half cock engages as it should, however once it is engaged the rifle can be fired with a pull of the trigger.
When you say "a good cleaning" did that involve disassembly ?
Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
