    Carbine match preparation

    Other than praying for divine intervention, and paying attention to CMPicon's suggestions for accurizing a Carbine, does anyone have any suggestions?

    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.

    Yes, if a 100yd match then practice at 100yds.
    Same for 200yd match, practice, practice.

    Your two suggestions are useful. The CMPicon thread has alot of good information.

    I shoot about eight carbine matches a year. Before each match I check the recoil plate screw and barrel band screw for proper tightness. I always take my sighting rounds. I have found temp and humidity can cause windage and elevation changes on my carbine. Even at 100yds which is the range for our matches. Last winter we fired when the temp was down to 5 degrees. Everyone's rounds impacted lower then normal!

    After each match I clean the bore, chamber, and face of bolt, but do not dissasemble. Oil as needed. Once a year I strip the gun and detail clean.

    I do win sometimes.

    HTH,
    bonnie

    If you haven't, do it now...

    detail the bolt. Make certain the ejector assembly is clean and lightly lube, the extractor assembly is the same with plunger in proper orientation.

    Do the full tight barrel band then loosen to see if group changes size.

    THEN have fun at match.

    Any practice firing off hand and breaking the trigger without pulling the front sight off target. I get spoiled by "match" triggers all year then when the time comes to shoot the carbine sometimes I squeeze the trigger wait for the bang nothing.Re-align site breath more squeeze finally bang.
