Ishapore Enfield 2A1

I'm happy for you too. Glad it worked out.

Took the Ishy Enfield back out to the range today. Fired some British Surplus NATO spec Radway Green (85). Same stuff I tried before that it wouldn't extract. Well the deburring of the chamber is a success. It fed, fired, and extracted all 20 rounds without a hiccup. The rifle has a very light trigger, and it shot very well considering surplus ammo, and my old eyes. Here's the SR1 target I shot from 100yds. The ones furthest right are before I adjusted the sight. I claim flyers for the ones to the left...



The brass looks OK to me except for the extractor rim being brighter than anything else. Any ideas what causes this? Is it anything to be alarmed about? I did stick a bent paper clip into the case, and couldn't detect any signs of case head separation. (see pic below)



I'm really happy about how this rifle shoots. Thanks to all who contributed their thoughts and suggestions to this thread.
