Not saying I agree/disagree w/ you Lt1 but a registration requirement must not be too bad; but we’ve all had to register just to get here. Part of the problem w/ the old CSP forum was good...

I'd really like to see photos when you have completed your project.
Murphy was also a hero after the war for speaking out about the mental costs paid by servicemen & the stigma of seeking treatment.
I like that primer too, as long as I remember to check that the primer has dropped all the way down the "chute" & is lined up w/ the hole in the shell holder.
In the drafting room it used to be pretty common to have a new hire show up w/ 10 more years experience than they were old. That 7th grader puts that record to shame.
You guys would mess your pants if you saw the book put out by the Williams Gunsight Co. in the 1950's & 60’s called "How to Convert Military Rifles." Good stuff in there like milling the sight ears...
A system w/ correctable flaws, persons in positions of authority w/ special interests to foster & a large dose of media hype... shades of the M16.
We do have 70 years of hindsight that the author didn't have.
Stripping the bolt while still in the rifle is (for me) easier than w/ the bolt out. The rifle sitting in a rest functions as the 3rd hand I often wish I had.
The M10 tool has worked for me. The link posted below shows hoe to use it w/ the bolt in the rifle. Easy.

True but these were training films meant to give a GI confidence in his small arms.
I picked up a brick of Federal Champion Target at Dick's about two years ago & couldn't find much info on it. The product number was not the same as what they listed on the Federal site for target...
If you know someone w/ access to a machine shop it should be a simple thing to have a 7/8 washer or a piece of thick walled tubing ground to the proper thickness.
I found a "close enough" washer in...
Thanks, maybe now there will be something left if I make it to retirement in 18 or 20 years! Most folks I know who are your age tell me how much they appreciate the money I'm paying into SSI.
At some point in time didn't the army issue .45-70 ammo w/ a lighter bullet for use in the carbines?
I saw someone firing a very short Mauser at the range which to me looked like a shorter version...

I'll take it as a big NO.
I like Midsouth & have bought most of my reloading equipment from there. Thanks for the tip on the patches.
Hello fellas from the CSP site.
Do many of you already post at MilSurp site’s other Enfield forum (The Lee Enfield Knowledge Library Collectors Forum)? If not, have you checked it out?
Welcome to...
I lurked at the CSP forum & never liked the format. Every other forum I post on has this or a similar format, which I prefer. You'll get used to it.
Some of you guys remember having to set the choke...
Thanks for posting this. This is the type of information folks will be asking about in 10, 20 or 30 years down the pike. Imagine reading an account of a GM who had worked on rebuilding Lee Navy...
