Enfield Sniper

[Peter Laidler]

You could easily come unstuck unless you follow the rear pad screw format pretty closely because very close to where the holes are is the induction hardened area for the left hand bolt locking shoulder. Just take care.....

This was a permissable 'relaxation in specification' at H&H, where the front pad could be brought to the rear a smidgin (That is another REME Armourers technical phrase that you wild and untamed colonials and antipodeans need to learn. It indicates a measurement slightly more than a gnats knacker but not as great as '...a sausage in the High Street') in order that the rear pad screw holes could be brought rearwards by a similarly small amount.

At H&H of course, it didn't matter if the drill veered off course after skidding off the hard area. The rifle was simply side lined and returned, presumably to scrap!

Some of use colonials are know for our technical terms, although different from out British cousins they are the finest measurement know to mankind. Specifically the term "RCH" or "Red **** Hair". this is one decimal point finer than the normal "CH" measurement.

Sorry if I have pushed the limits of respectability.
