Enfield recommended a number of changes : the barrel cover be fitted with a continuous length of tubing and a wooden forend, allowing the weapon to dispense with the rest, which was criticized for its fragility; a corrugated metal cover be fitted to the body, with a dust shield over the bolt handle; the magazine mouth be bevelled to ease feeding; the magazine be made of thinner metal to reduce its excessive weight; the breech cover not extend so far back to prevent injury to the firer; strengthen the extractor to prevent failures to feed with thick-rimmed cases ( one of the few feeding problems noted ); the hand-cocking lever be deleted [ a puzzle as the weapons still has to be cocked for the first shot ], also removing eight new parts; and the barrel casing be made in one piece, to eliminate a minor double failure issue.
