As Mr. Laidlericon said above "PLEASE do not let gauges cloud your judgement." the proof is in the shooting.

And here is a Canadianicon "odd man out", the Canadian bore gauge below is .303 and runs the entire length of my 1950 Long Branch, BUT this same gauge will not fit any of my Britishicon 2 and 5 groove barrels. This Enfield came from Brian Dickicon and is in excellent condition and apears to be unissued BUT it has a 5 groove barrel also.





The bore gauges below are harder to understand than the Australians
