Many of us suspect that the UK’s military had wanted a modern semiauto, detachable box magazine fed rifle to replace the Victorian Era bolt-action Enfield design badly enough to make spurious complaints about a nonexistent “wandering zero” problem. One never, ever hears of Jungle Carbines in civilian hands demonstrating any “wandering zero” problem, regardless of whether they are original or conversions. All in all one cause was never solidly marked, but a number of smaller issues added up and they just declared the fault to be inherent to the design. A grenade ready No.5 Mk 2 was being developed so it saw most of the further tests involving the flash hider, which was definitely affecting accuracy. Some armourers in the Pacific theater did hodgepodge some No.4 receivers into No.5 clones and reported good performance.
