I have one that is destined to feed a LE No5. Any Commonwealth members from the southern hemisphere tried one?
Thanks, I've read and bookmarked many of his posts.
I'm not familiar with A d E acronym. Where would I find a link or contact info?
I am doing a pre-shooting evaluation of a No5 shooter and looking for advice, please? I have fired it a bit years ago but want to redo it right. The plan is confirm the rifle is ready for shooting....
I am working through the threads and knowledge library now. Careful research and discussion here will precede any mods. Nothing will change before winter as load development and evaluation of the...
Thanks, the rifle has been refinished. The wood is stamp free and smooth and glossy as any slightly used older Winchester 70. Careful checking under a magnifier revealed sanding scratches on the...
I'm suspicious my BSA 9/45 No5 has had the stock refinished and the metal scrubbed and reblued. The stock has no writing or symbols on the exterior and the metal seems polished and some stamps are...
Looking for associations and clubs both nationally and in Alberta. Any suggestions?
This makes it good enough for me. If it was a common name among Commonwealth Veterans its an honor to use it.
Looking for info on the Frontier CMJ Game Ranger bullets for a 303, please?
Interested in both the 174 and 230 gr. weights.
ireload2, thanks, I do have a pile of IVI brass that is too big around the head to fit my rifle. That is the only type of full sizing I do. Even then I'll size only enough to chamber. I'm starting...
Thanks Smellie, I am a plain base guy. I read some of your thoughts on another thread regarding boatails and plain base. I'm a firm believer that a true crown and flat bullets handle the muzzle...
I am tooling up for my No.5 tomorrow. I will be buying a Lee FC die ansd have a Lyman M that is already sized from my 32-20 Lyman set. I also will pick up a Lee hand case trimmer as I always do.

Thanks again Captain. This is a very minor bend and I'm glad I asked because in no way would I bother to apply heat to fix this and my original ideas would most likely result in damage. I'd sure...
After a detailed condition inspection my rifle has only one concern so far.
One of the front sight protectors has been bent inward a bit. It is noticeable but does not affect the function of the...
Thanks Captain, I'll be staying with the battle sight most likely. I'll follow your advice if a scope is tried in the future.
I certainly prefer engineering to a stonehenge standard rather than...
No question you nailed that one. Thank you. Are these mounts available to a guy in Canada?
I just got my No.5 today. It is a BSA Shirley manufacture from 9/45. The rifle is very clean, too clean. Much of the original markings and all stock lettering are gone. The sn, BD4XXX, match but...
I am soon to add my first milsurp Lee Enfield to my safe. It is a clean No.5, 1945 BSA Shirely manufacture. The transfer is done and possession is expected this week.
I've been reading but must...
Just purchased a No5 in Ontario and the transfer is just finishing and now a postal strike looms!
This is my first milsurp and I'm excited by this new aspect of my shooting sports. I did serve in...
