I am expecting an Enfield No.4 Mk2 to be delivered today. This will be my second of this particular rifle. The one I am expecting today is "unissued" per Empire Arms. I want to shoot both rifles and reload cast bullets(boolits) but I have read in various places that headspace can vary to the extent that brass life is limited.
Can someone educate me on these rifles and headspace?
I understand that some Enfields were modified(?) by installing a new bolt face to correct headspace but I'm not sure that I should even be thinking about that.
Any help will be appreciated.
