I'm sure you know people with cameras or phones that take pictures?

Agreed, take ownership immediately and without fail. Then deep clean, repeat, repeat if not clean yet again. It just looks properly dirty. Then if all else checks out, put some rounds through, it....

Each WWII MG42 had about 6 men, IIRC - gunner, man with spare barrel and stuff, man with tripod, three with ammo. No LMG like the Bren.

Bren had gunner and one other with the spare barrel and mag...

Interesting how the LE buttplate still looks like that.

Good to hear he is back where he belongs.

Not bad for an old thread.

This forum has an immense body of LE knowledge. Whenever looking for specifics use the search function top right -searchmilsrups.com- you will find lots of answers quickly. There are usually...

Yep, normal. Put simply, the resistance starts when the sear catches the striker. When you open the bolt after cocking and without pressing the trigger, the bolt should move back smartly on its own...

Might be the ammo. If you were using standard military ball it should be shooting a bit high, if not the front sight blade needs replacing.

I, too, trust my chiropractor to keep me moving properly.

That is normal for LE rifles. Depends on what you mean by 'how much force' - you don't need to force it to close. Visit your local gun stores and handle/test the LE they have, to compare with your...

What's with the mountain biking on a hunt? In the snow?

That mag mod opens interesting possibilities...

Agreed with Bruce. My rifle of choice has always been a LE. The basics of LE after shooting care starts with a litre or more boiling water down the barrel. Let it stand muzzle down, dries quickly...

I would imagine launching a grenade would take more/different propellant than a 150gr bullet, with different recoil characteristics too. That's why you don't shoot it from the shoulder I believe.

A P14 with some of the wood removed. The rifling looks good. Good rifles. Restocking might be expensive.

There is serious pitting on the chamber end of the barrel, there might be more under the...

Originally made in 577/450 with a Metford rifled barrel, as that was the rifling that worked best with black powder and lead bullets. After the Empire changed to 303, many Martinis were rebarreled...

.22RF known as 5,6x15R, also 5,59 sometimes.

Looks like an 1874 Martini Metford 577/450 upgraded to 303 in 1899.

Lee Enfields are battle rifles, used incidentally for target shooting. Very few long range shots, although sights were so marked owing to pre 1900 thinking of volley fire. Expect about 3" groups at...

Needs lot of practice to shoot well full auto with a major calibre rifle.

Just enough for bullets to fit in the case mouth before seating. Too much allows earlier cracking I believe.

Interesting that 14 number gap. Leads to speculation.

Without pictures it is impossible to comment. Post in the M1917 section with lots of photos when you have it in your hands. The experts will soon be along to help.

Looks like a commercial weatherproof jacket.
