    1903A4 correct M84 mounting position

    Hello,

    Usually hanging out on the Lee Enfield forum but decided to finish up a 1903A4 project that I haven't touched in a few years.

    I have an A4 that has a nice C stock with rebuild stamps on it. I decided to mount a rebuilt M84 scope that I have to make a Korean era type A4 out of the rifle.

    The question is:

    Does the front scope ring land between the sunshade and the adjustment mechanism or should the scope be further forward with both scope rings aft of the adjustment mechanism?

    I mounted it with the scope ring between the sunshade and the adjustment mechanism and I like the scope relief but I have a feeling I should have the scope further forward on the rifle.

    I don't really want to split my head open with the scope ring under recoil.

    Thanks,

    Brian B

    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.

    Various TM's and reference books will show the m84 mounted both ways. The better way of doing it is to locate the scope as far forward as possible (with the W/E turrets in front of the front ring).
