The outer nut - the lead screw locking nut - should just nip-up the brass inner screw - the lead screw -. That way, while you're zeroing in at, say, 300 yards with the range drum at 3, you can just tweak the lead screw to zero the rifle.

Always remembering
TREAT THE GRAT AS A FORESIGHT and:
C=D&R or turning the leadscrew moves the graticle Down and Right and :
ALWAYS MOVE THE FORESIGHT INTO THE ERROR. So that if you're going HIGH, raise the foresight (or grat) and so on.

The tools were like mickey mouse watches Beery.................. They LOOK good but ain't much use when it comes to telling the time. That's only based on my very limited experience as a snipers Armourer

Beerhunter asked that I post some pics of the rifle's markings. Here they are.

Its a Stevens-Savage No.4 Ml1*, made in 1942, that has been in South African service.

It is in the kind of condition that I have come to expect of SA rifles - excellent.

Mate, that is one fine looking rifle. I would love to have that in my collection.

Nice work!

I still have to come across a Lee-Enfield rifle in South Africa that is not in an excellent condition. These rifles have a very soft spot in many SA rifle collectors and gun owners.
