    Sorry CalTex, I didn't address your last question. The M1 and M1905E1 bayonets lock on the rifle using the same system and all appear to be exactly the same when mounted, a bit loose and wobbly.

    Update - More Garand Bayonet trials

    Hi CalTex,

    The POI movement was in the vertical plane, I didn't notice any lateral movement nor a change in the group size.

    Yesterday out at the range again and more trials with different...

    Update

    At the local range today, 100 yards with the M1. And another bayonet experiment. I remembered that when I got the M1 I’d tried it with a a standard WW2 M1 bayonet and it made no difference to the...

    Thank you Jesse, but no not yet. I know that the Lee Enfield No.4 has defined movement / damping at the barrel tip, but no idea if the M1 should have. I'll look into it.

    Cheers Gil - I'm prepared! As I mentioned, I was trying the bayonet out in preparation for a comp. It's the LERA 'Overlord' Comp, so we'll be using No.4s. 300 yds prone, 200 kneeling and the last...

    Someone at the range suggested that it might be to do with the harmonics, of which I have only a vague understanding.

    Bayonet moves point of impact

    I've found that firing a rifle with a bayonet hanging on the end of the barrel can have various affects on the POI, from none (as with my SMLE) to some (+ 2" with my No.4).

    But yesterday,...

    I did wonder about that John, especially as you have that very nice M1A1 stock and the 1944 Inland M1. But you're looking at a quite a few parts; flip rear sight, early 'push button' safety (I think...

    I'm probably getting mixed up here John, but are you talking about the barrel band (yours being the later T4 barrel band - or 'Type 3') that holds the stock and handguard? If so (and you will already...

    Maybe John, but if it's like my LDT/Anglo Customs L1A1 it has been re-chambered for .308. Now we can have the .308/7.62mm debate!

    Renaissance Wax is supposed to be good. If you believe the sales literature. I've used it on some items. I probably won't live long enough to see if it's effective! :ugh:

    As F10 says, difficult call unless you know what to look for. If it is a repro, it looks pretty good quality.
    If it's made of wool (looks it) best to keep it in a polythene bag with a moth strip.

    They look like very nice binos, especially at £29.99!

    Bound to be a bit of crud on the optics after all this time, but they look better than 99% of the ones I've seen at shows, and generally...

    Not so sure, no green underneath. Looks like maybe half finished, then not required and sold off surplus?

    Thanks Jim. Pretty rare I guess, it's the only one I've ever seen.



    Trying to keep it that way, but it was made to be used.

    BBD,
    You might get the help you need if you post this on the Lee Enfield forum? I think it would be appropriate.
