Nice looking Enfield.

LAFO: We were trading posts on the Rimfire thread. Hopefully you don't mind me copying a post you made there. I found it very informative.

"Hi Mike,

I found the same with the bolt, it was always hard to push home.

What it turned out to be for me was the magazine was slightly out of spec and would sit up in the receiver and the bolt was catching on the rear. We are talking 1mm here but it was enough.

I had a CZ 452 magazine and the bolt became much easier to manipulate. After about 5000 rounds I can honestly say this is best most accurate .22 I have owned. I even have my Dad's old Parker Hale Olympic style rifle in the safe and this outshoots it.

A few month ago on the farm we were plinking at a 4inch steel plate at 200m. Some "professional" hunters were on the farm and they couldn't believe that I was hitting this plate dead centre every shot.

Last week I was at the range practising bench rest at 50 metres no rear bag and 120 / 120 shots were in the 10 ring and I am not a good shot."
