Enfield No4 'sniper' (...notice the quotes....to the purists I offer apologies)

**Nickjc** · 11-03-2010 11:42 AM

.............or call it what it really is....just a scoped enfield

Oh OK i know...it is not a true sniper....BUT it was fun putting the parts together...let's just hope she shoots ok...

It is a 1949 dated PF91*** ROF(F) in great shape...the bore looks fine...stock forend sits nice and tight...had to actually tap it off as stated in articles...

Added the repro cheek rest

Added a Weaver K3 60C Scope with the cross hair and post...

The mount was interesting..I do not know if it was home fabricated or manufactured
it is rock solid...it uses the ejector screw and safety screw to hold the lower mount and the upper mount screws on the to the lower...

The sight picture is not too bad either...

I know this is not in ANYWAY traditional but for now it is fun to play with...maybe when I get some more money together I will get a proper mount and pads and follow the detailed article from Mr. Laidler icon

this winter and do it right...

I am also going to tackle building a transit chest...off the plans that are here...plotted them all up on the cadd station and we'll see how it turns out....

Ok back to work for me....

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.

That telescope is 2.5" too far back to shoot comfortably. Have you ever heard of 'snipers eye'? It's where the recoiling rifle carries the.......... Anyway

Oh! yessss sireee one Weatherby eye coming up, not for me shooting that item.....also looking at some real T's the very front end of their cheek rests is in line with the bottom of the wrist grip.
