    But some No4's had hollow bolt knobs as a variation of manufacture - it was used as a 'location' point for tooling.
    The trick is to recognise which 'hole' is which'
    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...
