Sporterized Enfield help please

I wonder how well it would shoot with a bullet that fit the worn rifling?

Ross did the cocking piece aperture on a few too.

My experience with a 303 if the shots are within a foot of each other you have a shooter

You would think that rifles with that kind of accuracy would be cheap on the EE. I’m going to wander over there and get me few.

I’m trying to drive there prices down, this doesn’t help.

That video is a bit misleading- those are accuracy standards for deciding if an individual rifle needs to go in for repairs. It doesn't mean that is a typical or average level of accuracy. My own experience with LEs is that No. 1 and No. 4 rifles that are in good shape will typically shoot 1-2 MOA groups and can often be coaxed into close to MOA accuracy with handloading and minor tweaking of the bedding. I've certainly had LEs that wouldn't do this but they were very well used.

Yea, those were likely just minimum accuracy needed for acceptance into service, I would think.
