I took my No.4 Mk 1* to Cresap last Sunday to put some rounds down range. It's horribly off on the front sight windage, but I've done the sight radius, distance, and target radius calculations to use the proper sight pusher to fix that.
One thing I did notice was that the brass looks a bit weird after firing. There's no ring bulge like you get from excessive headspace, but if you look at the attached picture, you'll see what looks like longitudinal stretch or scratch marks where the case is meeting the chamber walls on firing.
Any thoughts? Is this normal on other Enfields?
