Glad to hear it's all working out for you.

I'd be glad to sticky the link, but its invisible to non members. Do you have a link we can all see?

Took my SMLE to the range today. Inked the lugs before firing it. The lugs show even bearing on both sides. All is good.
Thanks again for all the input.

I tried a bunch of ways to copy paste this thread but one or the other site won't let me do it so people will just have to go there and sign up.  Lots of guys from here are there anyway, that's how I found out about the site in the first place.
This is valuable information and maybe some of the more computer savvy members can transfer the information to this site some how?

Ok, I checked the head space at work today. It's between. 0685/.069'', right in the middle. Looks like I'm good to go. I do, however, need to move the front sight blade slightly as the Center of the group is about 2-2 1/2 inches to the left of the bull. I know on the M1 rifle, 1 inch equates to roughly. 008'' movement. How far on the No1 MkIII III equals 1 inch at 100 yards? I know to move the front sight opposite. Also, can the blade be moved without taking off the nose cap assembly?
Thanks
Jon

Anything under = 0.074". is good.

If you're moving the front sight you should check for the correct "Cramp" (adjusting tool), there's a member on here selling modern versions for a decent price.

musketjon:  I sell a Sight Adjuster Tool (I'm a  Machinist too,) using 1/4-28 threads one flat = .006.
 
With the Enfield Sight radius of @ 29"  1 MOA is right at .008.  So my tool moves it 3/4 MOA per flat.
 
You can PM me if you'd like one, or you can probably make one yourself. It's not that hard if you have the machinery and skills.
 
If your Front Sight has a odd looking pinch screw on it, a tire valve tool will loosen it.  I am making Apex bits with a slot in them to include with my tools in the future.

The easiest way to calculate the adjustment required is by using the mathematical formula as follows.

Distance between front and rear sights x error on target  (19,15" x 2,5") divided by 3600" (100 yards) gives you the required adjustment

(19,15 x 2,5) / 3600 = 0,013" (thirteen thousands of an inch)

You do need to remove the nose cap to adjust the front blade.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
