Enfields on both sides then (Ishapore was still doing runs of No.1 Enfields well into the 1980s), right alongside FALs...which also fought on both sides in the Falklands skirmish and other conflicts. And let's not forget Browning Hi-Powers being used as issue weapons by both sides in WW2 after the Germans took over the FN plant in Belgium and kept cranking them out for their own officers.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-54718950050599263092015-07-24T15:58:44.961-04:002015-07-24T15:58:44.961-04:00Well, other than Ishapore was supposedly turning o...Well, other than Ishapore was supposedly turning out No.1Mk.III*s, yep.<br /><br />Enflieds fought on both sides of the Indo-Paki wars. :)Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-43235375148738356572015-07-24T12:55:09.288-04:002015-07-24T12:55:09.288-04:00So Pakistan was manufacturing No4MkIs while India ...So Pakistan was manufacturing No4MkIs while India was also making them at Ishapore?

Some of these #4 rifles have problems over the years when the forestocks dry out and the relationship with the barrel gets wonky. It's fixable with real linseed oil but it's a pain. If you're not seeing problems at 25 yards, your probably is just fine. Back it off to 200 yards next?<br /><br />BTW, Windage is adjustable via the front sight, using a hammer and a torch. Again, a pain. Sounds like yours doesn't need it, so good for you!Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.com
