    Op rod wear against stock ferule

    If the op rod is lightly rubbing the front stock ferrule when the stock is removed, is that a sure sign that the op rod is bent or the ferrule is improperly pinned?

    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.

    What is the wear pattern on the op-rod showing?

    Take the barrel receiver assembly and flip over

    from the receiver heal area look down the op-rod

    If all is well the gas cylinder, op-rod, and middle band will look centered when referenced to the receiver legs

    If not it may give you an idea what is out

    As long as the "rub" does not impede the free flow of the op rod it is fine. We have to keep in mind the speed and amount of force produced when the op rod moves under recoil. To think it should not touch anything under recoil is wishful thinking in my eyes.
