I picked up a 1942 LB #4 MK 1* today and I have a few questions. The first thing I did was clean the bore and it looks to be in perfect condition,no rust or pits and very shiny,I also slugged it while I was at it and it came out .303 across the lands and .315 across the grooves. I hope this will be a decent shooter at least with jacketed bullets,cast I'm not so sure about at the moment.
The front sight is marked LB on one side and what appear to be .060 on the other I know this has something to do with the blade height,in general what can I expect at 100 yds with that particular blade height?
Also the bolt appears to be a mismatch,not the same on on the receiver,is this common to the 303 rifles or is this a problem? The bolt also has the cocking piece that is not common on the #4 rifles or is it ? It also has the CMK 3 200 to 1300 yds. rear sight.
I can provide some better pics when I get some better lighting outdoors. Any help is greatly appreciated.Information
