    Does your gunsmith have sufficient knowldege of the Enfields, AND, the correct gauges to check it is not twisted or stretched ?

    I'd suggest you send it to Brian Dickicon who is one of the top Enfield smiths in the US
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
