    What are actual op rod tab specs???

    Have a question on the height of the tab on a op rod. Info plastered on the internet reads .320-.317 and .310 calls for rejection.
    The way I interpet this is a new tab would measure .320-.317 and is in spec to .311
    On page 137 in Kuhnhausens Shop manual is a diagram that reads .317 is minumum

    So which is actual minimum specs for the op rod tab height ??

    Thanks

    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.

    Until it doesn't work honestly.

    The internet is parroting a manufacturing drawing specification. That's great if you need a tab to drawing tolerance.

    i think it reads like this .320-.317 are good for new builds .310 when found during rebuilds gets tossed.

    True, but the better the fit the smoother the ride - While the rifle may function it may not be the optimum for accuracy
