I just got my first rifle, a No.4 Enfield. It is an M47C, so the holes where the mount is were probably drilled by the British gov. Whatever guy had the gun before me took off the old British mount and put on a newer mount on so a modern scope could be attached. The mount was loose, so I removed it and it looked like he put epoxy or somethin' on it. Whatever it was it got brittle and stopped holding the scope tight. I've heard put locktight on screws and screw it in.
Should the old epoxy stuff be sanded/scraped off (I already got some of it with my fingers)??
Use locktight?
How level does the rifle need to be when screwing on the scope?
(Any other Lee Enfield tips are cool too)
