    And the blade adjustment tool for the No.4 doesn't work on the No.5 and the special ones for the No.5 are made of unobtanium.....
    Fortunately, I haven't had need to changing mine, as it was about as bang on when I bought it as I would ever expect a No.5 to be (even managed a V-bull once at 600yrds at Bisley on modern targets with my No.5.......only the once mind, but hey, for a No.5 )

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Outstanding shooting that man, mine shoots just fine (within the somewhat vague No5 grouping we all accept and understand), certainly no winner though!
