A few questions about my recently purchased Lee Enfield

[Zigge]

Thank you all for welcoming me to the forum, for all of your replies and the book recommendations, I appreciate it!

The barrel should not be able to turn at all and it will require a gunsmith to repair this. Can you get your money back?

That's a shame to hear. Unfortunately no, I can't get my money back.
I bought the rifle on a gun auction, there are no refunds.

and no you should not be able to turn the barrel at all do not shoot it before you take it to a gunsmith and one who is familiar with the type of rifle not a custom gun shop either as they probably would not know what they were looking at!

Hello Zigge and welcome to the forum.
As you state this is your first rifle; not just your first Enfield. I am wondering if you've got mixed up with translating the parts. (I assume that english is not your first language!)
I ask this because it's almost unheard of for a barrel to come loose if it's been properly fitted, and the bolt being fitted would not have any effect on the tightness of the barrel as far as I can see.
Definitely get the rifle checked properly by someone qualified. failing that; post photos of the problems you think you have, or a short video would help a lot.

Yeah, you assumed right. English is not my native langauge, but I will do, to the best of my ability, to try to explain the parts of the rifle and the problem for you.

Here are a few pictures of the rifle and my problem.

The bolt assembly is in the recieve, I can twist the barrel a little.


The bolt assembly is no longer in the recieve, I can twist the barrel entirely.

and your Enfield sounds knackered

Yeah, I think so too.... It seems that the barrel requires tightening and head spacing. If I can tighten the barrel by hand so that it is in the 12 o’clock position, then I need a new barrel washer.
There is a special washer between the barrel and the receiver. This washer allows me to correctly torque the barrel and at the same time achieve the correct headspace.

The question is: What is the name of the washer and where can I find it?
