One of the reasons why I like Lee Enfields: my 10 year old son likes them too :)

Here's my youngest enjoying some 100 yard shooting with a No2Mk4 I recently refurbished. Can't get more fun than that for Lou the dad...

I wonder if I have a shorter butt stock somewhere. This one's a tad long for him!

Sorry I don't know why the video appears twice in my post! ???

Nice one and great to see, start them young and you have them for life, well done.........

Probably because the top one doesn't load....... certainly expected to see more recoil until I read the post again, getting thick in my old age.

There's no better iron sighted military rifle for a left handed shooter. As he grows he'll be able to work the bolt quite efficiently by lifting the handle and retracting the bolt with his left thumb and then pressing forward with the palm.

Not quite as fast as RH, but only because there's a little known technique for raw Enfield speed that can't be done from the left side.
