As a long time admirer of the No.4 Lee Enfield, I managed to pick up a No.4 MkII from the UF 55 A batch.
It was sold from an old stock and put on the market in 1995.
They say it is from a batch made for the RAF, but I’ve never found anything to substantiate that.

Anyway, it turns out my cousin has a similar rifle, with a serial number only a few hundred from mine.
The thing with these two is that the MPI is more than 9” too low!
When shooting at 100 yards, sight set at 200 yards, the MPI should be about 3” above point of aim.
In reality, the MPI is about 6” BELOW POA...
Not just for mine, for my cousin’s Lee as well.
To shoot anywhere near the target we have to set the MkI sight to 450 yards!

Are we the only ones experiencing this, or is this somehow a common feature with these rifles?
