    An M1 refurb from Arlington Armory

    I bought one of these (M1icon Garrand refurb) back in 1993 before the klinton crime bill went through. I haven't fired it much.
    I did have 4 shooters (two of them NRA highpower shooters) shoot the rifle. at 100 yards, the 1st for rounds are right on,
    the next for rounds are a foot high.
    This is the same result of all 4 shooters.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Bob

    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.

    Front handguard could be too tight. As the barrel warms, it expands and moves off. Most people suggest that the handguard be slightly loose.

    Are you sure it's Arlington Armory? or could it be Arlington Ordnance?
    there has not been an Armory at Arlington(is why I asked). Have you checked the muzzle wear on a gauge? and checked to see if metal meets/rubs wood anywhere? Arlington Ordnance was an importer and broght back some Korean M1icon's that had some probs at the muzzle from improper cleaning technique's that caused uneven wear at the muzzle from the cleaning rod rubbing.
