If you're building a sporter, depending on your skills and interest level, you could convert to a tang safety, but the most worthwhile change would be to a two stage trigger as per SMLE.

The muzzle brake doesn't fit with a "Lee Speed" type sporter, but what exactly are you building here?
===================================
I'm building ( REBUILDING) components of a 303 rifle to be able to shot one accurately.
I'm not into old antique keep it as it was for prosperity.
I never had a 303, never fired one, so now I have a chance to do one that takes some doing,
with out worry of keeping anything original.
So let me just say this. ( some one built these things, someone, and many modified it, some one created it.
Now there is me.
I'm just looking for a one shot accurate 303 shooter using what I have on hand.
A barrel is a barrel, a receiver is a receiver, and a bolt is a bolt. Then you have your projectile and powder.
Anyone can call it want they want, put there log stamp on it , a bunch of numbers, but in the end,
we have a rifle, that shots a bullet or what ever.
No offense to Enfield enthusiast, I just like working on firearms.
As for the muzzle break, flash arrest-er, etc, I have been making and using them on
all my pistol, rifles.
They reduce the flash, they give more control of the handling of the instrument.
All this in my humble opinion.
I do appreciate everyone input and questions. Questions are good for though.
Keeps us thinking.
Right now I thinking about going out and removing snow after I have my coffee, from yesterdays snow fall.
3 blizzard's in 10 days lots of snow.
I have 3 walk behind snow blowers, an arsenal, one stops I reload another one.

Lots of ammo ( snow ) lots of repellant (GAS) three man army my two Germanicon Shepherds and me.
Cheers Rifle is on hold for now
