All this information about headspace issues and broken cases concerned me to the point where I was fearful to go to the range with my refinished (but unheadspaced)
No4 Mk1. Well I went today and shot 15 rounds of Winchester ball and to my great relief the gun didn't explode and I came home with my face and fingers.
I also was able to shoot my fathers IBM M1icon Carbine which has neither been headspaced nor shot since 1945.
Both rifles performed flawslessly. The carbine patterned 5 inches high at 50 yards probably a 3-4 inch group. The Enfield patterned 6 inches high at 100 yards. I ain't talking about the grouping, I am, however, looking for a new aperture sight.
