Took my new No.1 Mk3* to the range yesterday. It's 1918 Enfield made, rifle with worn rifling and beaten wood. Bit of a surprise when I started shooting though. Ok I was only at 50 yards and from a bench but it put ten shots of Sellier and Bellot inside about an inch and a half, this making it instantly my most accurate LE with issue sights. However it raised a coupe of questions. The rear sight was moveable - not windage adjustable, just moveable - I could push the whole leaf across with my finger. Enough to move a group an inch at 50 yards. it all seems to be attached properly and the base isn't moving - common? Secondly anyone have a decent source for boltheads (in USAicon) There was a noticeable thinning / stretching effect on the case by the rim and the headspace is touch and go on civilian gauge. I guess I'll need to order a few and go trial and error until I find a slightly longer one.
