BBL timing Enfield No4 Mk1
I bought a very nice WW2 No4 only to discover that the chamber had been BUGGERED . I ordered a new[USED] barrel from Springfield Sporters and now for the rub. The new barrel is a degree or two "long" when screwed and tightened to the receiver. What is the correct procedure to time the assembly? Mill the face of the receiver,or turn the shoulder of the barrel down? Then what? Check the headspace?? What else? I realize this is not to be taken lightly,as maladjustment is dangerous.I want to learn.
