Lee Enfield Accuracy

You’re at the range with your ‘famed Lee Enfield’ and a group of friends, but to your embarrassment it’s peppering shots all over the paper. Lee Enfields are a battle rifle, a very good one, but you’d like to do better, a lot better.

So don’t ignore at least 70 years of Enfield success on the world’s rifle ranges.

All the old timer secrets I could find, and a few new ones, have been researched and compiled into everything needed to accurize a 20th century Lee Enfield No1, No1 MK3, a No4 Mk1 or Mk2, an Ishapore 2a 7.62, and even the jungle carbine.

Strong on the practical tuning of your rifle, ( books on reloading and techniques are for other authors to reveal) and light on the theoretical, ‘Complete Accurizing’ is a friendly and thorough book that suits beginners and all home handy and innovative shooters interested in ensuring their rifle is physically tuned to the very best accuracy.

Far from being a repeat of the most common ideas this book looks at how it was really done decades ago by the master shootists and gunsmiths, with well described photos backing up every interesting point. The text also includes ‘Old Timer tricks’, tips that hardly ever made it off the range and into the history books.

And then just to kick the ball another length there are 25 pages devoted to new ways to accurize an Enfield that have probably never been done before.
