redbaron,
I ordered the Williams FP SMLE TK sight direct from Williams

Hello All,
Following up on my 12-1-08 post:
I purchased 50 rds of practice 7.62 NATO from Dan's and took it to the range yesterday. It behaved pretty much like ball ammo at 50 and 100 yds. There...

redbaron,
That Williams sight looks like a real answer to the one thing I don't like about my Ishy; the rear sight.
Question: can you remove the bolt for cleaning with the Williams sight installed?...

Sgt Possom, Claven2, and All,
Thanks for your replys and interest. I'll keep the magnetic milsurp I have. I'm lucky enough to belong to two clubs, one of which allows the magnetic stuff.
A possible...

My gun club prohibits magnetic bullets. Is there a source of non magnetic 7.62 NATO milsurp ammo?
Swagman

My club requires non magnetic ammo use on their range. I have tried to restrict my Ishapore 2A to mil.surplus ammo but so far haven't found non magnetic milsurp. Even Winchester 7.62 grabs a magnet....

I'm getting "Snap Caps" for dry firing my .22. Has anyone any experience, good or bad.\, with this product?

I did order and receive my Kimber M-82 direct from CMP. No Ca. DROS required
Swagman

I'm about to order a rifle from CMP. I contacted a Fed Firearms License holder about the Dealers Record of Sale (DROS) paperwork.
The FFL holder told me that purchases from CMP did not require DROS...

CMP is currently offering two .22 Target rifles for sale. I'd be interested in comments from anyone who has purchased a Kimber M82 or H&R M12 from CMP.
The H&R, at US $225, comes without sights and...

I need to install a taller blade on my LE Ishy 2A. Are there any tricks I should know about drifting off the dovetail and installing the new one? It looks like removal should be right to left (muzzle...

Sailorjosh:
Still happy with the Mojo?
Like sdh1911 I don't really like the idea of an AM sight but have about given up on finding anything like a reasonably priced receiver mounted aperture for my...

Dear LI,
Thanks. I learned something about e-bay I didn't know.
Too bad there isn't some way to get a receiver mounted aperture sight for a No1 Mk 111*/ Ishy 2a/a1 that doesn't cost more than the...

Did anyone see the final price on the 5A without mounting screws that sold today, Apr 3?
I had it bookmarked but the time got away and I missed the close.
Swagman

Stevo,
From my reading of Stratton's book "British Enfield Rifles" Vol 1 pg.58 the 50,000 or so 2A's had rear sights graduated elevation to 2000 yards and the later 2A1's had graduations to only 800...

sdh1911,
Is your new rifle labeled Mk111 or a 2A1? Made at Ishapore in 1967 in 7.62 NATO I presume it would be a 2A1. I sure like my 2A made in 1965!

SailorJosh,
Thanks for the report. Do you feel it's a target sight as well as a hunting sight?
Looking forward to your "Above Freezing" observations.
Swagman

I cut my shooting teeth on the receiver mounted aperture sights on the M1 Garand.
Fast forward fifty years..

Dear Son,
Thanks for the great photos; they're very clear and descriptive. There is one Parker Hale on E-Bay at the moment. At last check it was bidding at $140 US.

According to Wikipedia (the font of all knowledge) the pyrotechnic elements in tracer are Strontium salts (NATO) and Barium salts (Russian and Chinese) and a metal fuel such as Magnesium. Do you take...

I can remember night live fire exercises when I was in Service. I remember being astounded by the number of ricochets that are visualized by the tracer.
Swagman

Dear Stencollector
The box was labeled "Mixed Belt". Lot 44 MAL 1- 83 4B1T L2A Made in Malasia
That seems to confirm your suspicion about the tracer.
Thanks for your input.
Swagman

Thanks, Claven, for your quick response.
This is a brand new hobby for me and my ignorance is vast. Is there a place I can find a discussion of available aperture sights for the Lee Enfield?...

I read with interest the article in the Australia Milsurps Knowledge Library entitled "Gillipoli Marksman" byBob Courtney.
The article states that " By about 1905 the manufacture of aperture rear...
