At present I have something like 25 Enfields. Most shoot quite well. My No4T is very finicky with it's ammo. Run of the mill surplus has never shot that well out of it. Yet I had one small lot that would go into an inch and a half. For top accuracy I've had my best luck using hand loads. Keep in mind that the rifles used for conversion to No4T configuration were selected based on increased accuracy during initial testing. To be honest I don't shoot it much. I'm to concerned I'll mark it up. :wink:
For everyone else thanks for your feedback

A mark 1, 1905 Bisley winner, still a great shooting rifle, under that is an original Martini in .303, one of 1000 sent to Canada to trial the "new" commonwealth cartridge, marked to the "RRCI" (Royal Regiment of Canadian Infantry) #297 in fine shape, shoots about 2 feet off at 100m though, and a .577 Snider marked "MS" to the Musketry School.
Just acquired (from a fellow CanadianGunNut, in fact) -
1884-dated .476 Mark II Enfield Revolver, NWMP-issue. It was a sort-of "designed by committee"
piece, not popular in the British Army for various reasons.
Originally introduced 1880, modified to the MKII in 1882, but replaced in British Military Service by
the .455 Webley MkI in 1887 ....
The MkII Enfield was adopted as the official sidearm of the NWMP in 1882 and was not supplanted
until adoption of the .45 Colt New Service in 1905.
Another view of my "Old Ugly":
Now, "practically everything you might ever want to know about it" - being the various relevant entries
from the British War Department "List of Changes in War Matériel and of Patterns of Military Stores" -

Man I love that Sniper Enfield
Hey that is where the rifle box I have came from!
OK Here is my only Enfield (My first one BTW):
I inherited it from my Father in law who died this year.
I'm told the barrel has been turned (whatever that means).
It is a Longbranch #4 MK1.
And the guys at my range, and others say who ever did the sportsterizing (prob' in Sask') did a fantasic job.
A real nice shooter, she kicks like a mule, but keeps the bears away on hikes in our woods. hehehe
I'm looking for another original Box mag to replace the cut down one it has under the custom floor plate.
I'd also like to replace the scope with a more powerful one, and I'd love to get a stock issue Enfield #4 MK1 to keep it from getting lonely in the gun safe. :wink:
