But you are right, you are sitting right in front of the rifle. Just remember that when you post, you open yourself up to comments and discussion about your rifle. That's the point isn't it, and there are some very experienced Enfield enthusiast here, as well as a few commonwealth armorers.
No problem, others did and my comment was more directed at that, It was getting a bit frustrating but I kind of found it funny how all these opinions came out of left field, I do have a good sense of humour.

Also in everyone's defence sometimes if the photos are taken at different angles it makes it hard for the people who look at them to see what I see the same.

BTW, I served in the Army for 12 years and worked in both the Ordnance Corps and RAEME and handled, observed and worked on many hundreds of small arms including Lee Enfields so I am not a Johnny come lately either.
