    It would be easy enough to try a different barrel, see if that affects zeroing.
    I tried another barrel - same result. Would seem to conclude that the problem lies with the trunnion.

    I just don't see the point in guys getting too wrapped around a lack of accuracy in a particular SMG...
    I agree completely, but in this case I'm seeing a definite diversion from the norm when I compare with other Stens of the same mark....

    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.
