Some nice splinters came flying off there, bit like being on the gun deck of one of the old "wooden walls" when a 32 lb ball comes smashing through.
Not as dramatic, but probably still quite memorable:

Yes I know.
I wrote the shooters 'explanation' not mine.......along with the "I've been reloading for 40 years and never had an issue" bit, as he clearly couldn't accept that it was likely his re-loads at fault. He was very lucky on the day looking at the photos of his hand and face!
Merry Christmas !
Enfield Enforcer
Same to you and yours...
Another question, but also in this relation, finally: What about the probability of success by reproofing an Enfield Enforcer for 20 tons, outgoing from 19 t-proof. A rifle in good condition, of course - what is your experience ? ?
Before i can decide definitively here, it would be great to know that. Not many of such reports can be found.. .

Please ?

Why not leave it as is and just use ammo loaded to a lower pressure ..The rifle may look sound but a steady diet of higher pressure rounds will be shortening the rifles life to the scrap bin. I have seen this in other firearms. one was a 1911 with Thompson ammo, another was a luger with owen/sten ammo. The boxes were marked not for pistol use
I have no idea if your Enforcer would pass higher proof, the thing to consider is that if it fails and the high pressure distorts the body (action) then you are now left with an unusable rifle - only usable for display or scrap.
Rather than re-proof my Enforcers I just use the ammunition they were designed (and prooved) for.
Exactly.
Seems too complicated for some though.
Whats-his-name that does the Bloke on the Range stuff on Youtube lives in Switzerland, and he doesn't seem to have any difficulty getting hold of NATO 7.62 to feed his Frankenrifle No.4 conversion or his ex-British Army SLR.
