Hi all,
This post might be a bit long winded... but here goes. I'm a total Enfield nut, and enjoy shooting them more than anything else in my collection. However, I have a problem that I probably share with a lot of you, my sights are holding the guns back IMO...
1st gun I will discuss, is my 1942 Lithgow SMLE, its currently in rehab because the stock split on its one and only outing to the range. The gun has been through FTR and has a mint barrel on it. I plan to pick of new stock set to replace the crappy Indian wood that broke. But I would also like to add the Parker Hale target sight to it, where is the best place to look for one? What about the long buttstock?
2nd gun is kinda up in the air, I have a ratty No.4 with a nice 2 groove barrel, but I've heard the stories of 2 groove barrels being bullet sensitive, I don't reload, and mainly shoot Wolf Gold 303. Any range reports with a 2 groove and Wolf? Should I look for a different rifle, say a Long Branch?
I want to build a Super No.4 to go with my Super SMLE, my plan for both is to bed the actions, add target sights and smoother triggers.
For the No.4, I want to add the Parker Hale target sight that Sarco sells ( if they still have them ).
Anybody use a Huber trigger? I've seen them, but I want to retain the two stage trigger, just make it smoother and lighter. Is the Huber trigger a two stage?
Were both SMLEs and No.4s availible with long buttstocks?
Thanks in advance
