My brother used the same training rifle in cadets back in the '60's. (.22 calibre) I had a MK IV that never missed, period. Unfortunately it was destroyed in a cabin fire at my older brother's cabin or I'd still be using it. Best moose hunting rifle I've ever owned, it fed my family more than one winter. I swear by them still. To the original question, Gil's advice is exactly what you need to do.

Grant,
Lucky dog! That is a great find! Probably worth about as much as the avarage car all of that.
As for the 22 Trainer neat find. Its a No. 7 I think
I've got to be honest I dont know much about the variants of Enfields. I can pick out a No. 1 Mk. III, a No.1 Mk.III HT, a No. 4, a No. 4 (T) but I couldn't pick out different Mk's etc just by looking at them.

Interesting Grant, didn't know that, always been told to get good 303 British Rounds you needed to reload with .313 as that was the proper size.
Guess when I get myself a Enfield I'm going to have to slug the bore.

About the loads. I always just used a 180 gr Win, I believe they were .312 but never bothered testing, wasn't broke wasn't gonna fix it, y'know

Dimitri,
Thought you might like to see all the #4 Snipers rifle and gear. Tough to get good pics of stuff that's nothing but military green, but here goes. The directions on the scope case and the contents list for the snipers rifle case are neat.
