No wonder we are losing the battle....

[Son]

No matter how hard the regular contributors here and indeed on other forums work to dispel all manor of false information that is getting about on the topic of Lee Enfield Rifles, every now and again someone drops a real clanger!

I don't know if this particular person has an axe to grind, or if he is just plain ignorant, ... well, I was gobsmacked.

Please feel free to comment on this posting or add any more comments by "Enfield assassins" for discussion....

The topic? -Why does Headspace Vary?

On a Enfield?

Headspace varies because of a almost total lack of quality control during building.

Only reason.

Good guns but.......

You dont see any other built to a spec rifle need different bolt heads to head space.
Heck even the Russians could stay in spec. Anyone ever found a Mosin nagant out of head space?
I have never seen or even heard of it.

A Enfield?

I have seen 3 that actually had proper head space with out work.
