But even if you have a blow out, you won't know it until you open the bolt, the Enfield will generally keep you pretty safe.
This is one of the key things to remember about Lee-Enfields. If the rifle has excessive headspace, this will usually result in case separations, and the rifle has two pathways for gas to escape- the extractor slot and the gas relief hole in the LH side of the receiver.
