    Holland & Holland & the No 4 Mk I(T) question

    Obviously to many of you who have put up with my many, MANY questions about these rifles, they have become something of a passion of mine. I find it curious though that throughout the many websites and books I have read covering these rifles I have never once seen a photo of the apparatus used to machine the bracket to the pads. HAS anyone on this board ever seen photos of this device? Does anyone have a photo of it they'd be willing to post?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It's called a milling machine with the appropriately shaped cutters for the rear pad and bracket. A shell-mill cutter for the front mounting pad and a pillar drill mounted end mill for the front mounting on the bracket. All set up in jigs and away you go.................. But there was a little more to it than that...........

    Wasn't the machine an old lathe bed to which H&H added the needed milling equipment?

    You're dead right JM. One day I'll tell the whole process from start to end. Maybe it's time to revamp the sniper book as me and Roger have discussed several times

    Yes! The original was awesome, but it would be even better if it were in more detail, larger, had color photos where available, and combined your books on the No4T and No32... Something along the lines of the Collector Grade series. I am sure that it would well, as there is so much more interest in the topic as compared with the 80/90's. Put me down for one.

    Well I for one would love to see a second edition! You could add in all those things which people 'helpfully' pointed out after reading the first one - on the basis that they now knew what was in the book plus what they knew before! And then when the 2nd ed comes out the same process could take place.

    Seriously though - the internet has allowed so much sharing of information (and simply bringing together like minds) between those people who genuinely love and know all about enfields - in particular snipers. Bring on An Armourers Perspective Part II. (in association with DRP productions).
