    One drawback to firing undersize bullets is that the gas can continue passing around the bullet for a considerable distance up the bore, rather than just at the throat. That means erosion rapidly eats away the rifling and accuracy goes to heck quickly.

    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.

    m1909 rechambered

    The m1909 rifles that are stamped as 30.06 were typically sold to department store in the US by an importer as cheap hunters. The rechambering was done because of the lack of 7.65 Belgian ammo available for the weapon. In many cases the wood was also "sported". I have one of these that I rebarreled to .308. These rifles have a very strong receiver and are suitable for many rounds. Just keep in mind the size of the bolt face and the length of the magazine. With a comp trigger, a muzzle brake and a decent scope you can make a fine rifle from it. It's already altered so there's no need to sweat it. After the fifty round break in on the new barrel I can put three rounds in one half inch at 250 yards. That would be from a bipod. If you have the patience to do it, a hand reaming on a short chamber barrel is likely best.
