Gentlemen, thanks for the frank responses to my naive questions. The three Enfields are in really good condition.
My ammo now is reloaded Prvi. Santa 'airdropped' the single-stage Lee gear a year ago.
The only problem is that in about fifteen gun shows within an hour of Memphis ('08-'10), there were only about three total #4s /#5s which were not sporterized.

Thanks for the recommendation. It's nice to know that it can be reconverted with no permanent changes, and will consider that.

What I must have had in mind was reading many comments about Enfield bolt head numbers, and how the headspace seems to increase with lots of wear, as the bolt is gradually pushed back.
