I have an old P53 Enfield that shoots incredibly well as evidenced by this photograph depicting a 5 shot 50 yard group.
I noticed however, when I cleaned the barrel, that water flowed out around the snail, even though the nipple was sealed.
The gun doesn't seem to leak any gas, and I don't see any evidence of higher pressure. That said, I'm reluctant to continue shooting the gun. Any idea what is causing the problem, and what can be done to fix it.
Finally, it has a very strong mainspring, and the trigger pull is over 10 pounds. All internals seem to be original to the lock. Any suggestions on how to improve the trigger pull?
Thanks,
Jim
