    Thanks guys the rifle is a newly assembled no1 mk3* it's been assembled using unissued original and matching serial numbered parts that have been sat in storage the barrel is unfired also it's maid by C&g firearms here in the UKicon I will be shooting PPU 174gr FMJ ammunition only I was hoping someone could tell me what sizes I should look at and what sizes to avoid using as I have the full set to give me a rough area before I start to zero it

    C&G are a "strange operation" and I wonder how come they manage to find all numbers matching Nose-piece, sights, barrel, action and bolt that are all unused / unfired and original.

    I am doubting that all of these parts have sat in stores "together", unissued and unused - stores dont work like that.

    Maybe the matching numbers is just a recent thing ?

    They have in past sold a number of Enforcers which did not exist before they had them for sale, and on close scrutiny were actually built up No4's.

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
