enfield mk 4 no 2?
Is it possible to adjust the trigger on those old .303s? Its got a little slop and deffinately needs the pull lowered. Got one that's just sitting in the safe I bought when I was 15 and thought about getting the aftermarket stock for it if the trigger could be worked on.

That's half the fun of shooting them! I have a MK IV that my father bought off a pallet at a hardware store when he was a kid. I think he spent $30 or $40 for it. Open sighted groups @ 100 yds were always impressive, even with the ugly trigger.

depending on how much your willing to spend you can get some very nice adjustable triggers or even the entire trigger group exchanged. parker hale had made one of the best triggers for enfields but they are now out of production. the very best ive yet to try is the Knolton precision drop in trigger. it uses a double ball bearing contact face and both bearings adjust to shorten both the first and second stage independently. but alas the knolton is also nearly out of production so you will be looking at a $150 price tag for just the drop in version. the next best thing might be a huber concept trigger but it lacks the independent adjustments and the ball bearings dont actually roll on the huber.

It's a Ruger 1 A and it will be available for the US too.After all they made the #3 in 30-40 Krag didn't they? As well as the 1895 in .303 British and 7.62x54R once upon a time.I'm after H+R to offer .303 in their SS with a extra .410 barrel...........They shoot MOA and not everyone can afford a #1............I have a 1950 Longbranch and a Parker Hale #4 sporter as well......................Harold

Hiya Guys,
This old limey owns a sporterised no4 enfield,and i like the way the old girl shoots,she will never shoot a one hole group but she has kept my freezer topped up over the years.The only draw back with her is that the when reloading for her,i find that the cases start to split on the third reload,apart from that no worries.
