Last Round jamming, feed lip adjustment

[muffett.2008]

This thread amuses me, in all my years of gunplumbing I have never had a feed problem with any 303.
I have about 40 of them myself, often mix magazines when shooting and still no trouble. (having said that you can guarantee I will now......Murphy being alive and well.)

Consider yourself on a lucky streak. I have acquired over a dozen Lee Enfields. Four of them had feed problems from the outset. Please stay amused. For those who had to fix the problem, believe me it was vexing, as I have indicated in earlier threads. Perhaps some of the problems were created by earlier owners who then ditched the guns after frustration. But I can attest some of the problems were weak follower springs, followers binding on the mag grooves, poorly aligned feed lips, mags that did not seat properly, and even a No1MkIII mag in a No4MkI. For the poor bloke who has bought his first Lee Enfield and encountered this problem, it can be very perplexing, especially if one has no proper mag to compare.
