I try to get the barrel "perfectly" indexed, but I'm sure it's never perfect. (I'm looking at a "bubble")

    if you are off .018 you will also use 2 minutes of windage to zero the rifle

    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.

    I've personally gotten a lot of great information from this thread from all of the posters, but did you ever get your problem solved?

    This thread was interesting!
    "Hermien" started it by asking a question on Jan. 1st. After TWO weeks and 44 replies and we have not heard a thing from Hermien. I hope we have helped him. Just an acknowledgement from him would be appreciated.
