    Accurizing via blueprinting

    When I used to play with cars there was a racing class that only allowed the engines to be kept to as issued, no changes other than original specs. To that end we would find the lightest piston and rods and makes them all weigh the same, and do a bunch of other invisible changes that upped the power right through the engine, and all within specs.
    Is there a text, or has there ever have been any time devoted to accurizing enfields within as issued specs?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    A couple of books that may help :

    a) The Lee Enfield Rifleicon - Reynolds
    b) Competitive Rifle Shooting - James Sweet (The accepted text book on target shooting and bedding of target rifles)
