    I've been shooting Portuguese FNM 7.92 and .303 British for years. It's excellent ammo and as accurate as ball ammo gets. My second choice for 8x57 is Romanian but it has corrosive primers. It's also...

    I noticed something on your rifle that's out of spec. You need to check and change out the body locking catch to a longer one. The locking catch lever should not bear on the recoil plate of the...

    The short answer is no. Someone has rebarreled an 8x57 with a 7x57 barrel post service is my uneducated guess.

    I have a proper Enfield barrel vice from the RSAF. I've seen a few nice barrels wrecked from clamping on the thin part of the barrel instead of the Knox Form. I have a beautiful Savage two groove...

    I have all of the tools. SMLE, No.4, No.5, P'14/M1917 and Sterling SMG. I still use a small brass drift and hammer. Never had a problem although I admit that the tool works smoother and is probably...

    Sorry to be a smart *** but since when is the L39A1 a self-loading rifle? I get immediately dubious of these articles when they can't even get the type of rifle correct in the bloody title.

    The length of the SLR and SMLE/No.4 sling is the same at 45". I just compared a handful of older slings to a nos Australian L1A1 sling. Bren slings are longer.

    I exported one to Europe several years ago that was purchased at auction. The only one I've ever handled. Not too common.

    You want that slight 1/16" gap to keep the buttplate from cracking the heel again.

    I think it's an Eddystone stock but could be wrong. Look directly at the wood showing at the front of the upper band and there will be an "E", "R" or "W" stamped there.

    Why not replace the collar if it's too short? Someone putting great ape strength on the front guard screw with the shortened collar is why it's crushed. Shims are a no-go but I digress.

    Looks pretty honest with a mismatch telescope and bracket. I've seen the rifle number stamped on the top of the wrist before but it's usually a wartime Maltby No.4Mk.1 or an L42A1. I've never seen it...

    A nice, honest looking old girl. Turn the sling around at the butt end to keep the hooks from buggering up the wood.

    The marks on the underside of the wrist are the manufacturer's, (BSA) wartime code and inspector stamps. The barrel reinforce markings are the manufacture date and various inspector's stamps.

    If you're going to use a No.4 stock bolt on an SMLE, you need to make sure it has the flat washer and spring washer too. The damaged tie straps I've seen were usually lacking one or the other.

    I think he was just a psychopath to be honest. I made the mistake of watching a few of these guys teach us about Lees several years ago on YouTube and I've been cured of doing it ever since.
