Does anyone know any experts/gunsmiths in Canada that specialize in Lee Enfields? As these rifles are rather delicate and complicated, I want to make sure that the gunsmith knows what they are doing...

This is the kind of bedding job I was looking for - where you could use the rifle for as issued competitions as well by removing the bedding. Not only that, the originality of the rifle is preserved....

It was the South Africa tour on the royal yacht HMS Vanguard. (The Royal Navy's last battleship)

Hi muffett,

I have also read on other forums that Princess Elizabeth shot stags before, but I could not find any source to back that up.

Do we have any idea of who might be in the first picture?

What are the sights on it?

I wasn't entirely sure that was Princess Elizabeth either, but everywhere I've seen the picture people have said it was her. Who is actually in the picture?


@Chris, that is an absolutely...

Still getting the hang of posting pictures!

I found the full picture. Look at what she is spotting with! A pretty lengthy telescope.

The Royal Yacht as in HMS Vanguard. I believe the second picture might be taken during the Royal tour to South Africa.

Is Princess Elizabeth (if that is really her) shooting a Fultonised No.1 Mk 3? It has an extra band in the front so it seems....

These rifles obviously have a special place in our hearts and minds; and over the years of use, endearing memories are created and these rifles can take up a personality of their own.
So I was...

Ah last question. The PH5A sight for the No.1 Mk 3 requires no drilling or anything to mount it right? I just wanted to double check with an article I read. Are there any similar sights that require...

I just had a thought. Maybe I could save myself all the trouble by getting a Fulton regulated SMLE? Might cost a lot, but the Lee Enfield is the only rifle I intend to own.

I totally agree with Thunderbox and I had no intention of doing anything to the rifle until I properly understood the rifle and could shoot it well. His advice is pretty logical and it is something I...

Thanks for your reply. What if I decided to get the SMLE for as issued service rifle shooting and a No. 4 for "prone target style?" I would like to know the two different routes.

Btw at Camp...

I would be very pleased if you guys here could offer me some advice. I am rather young and I'll be honest in saying I don't even have a Lee Enfield in my hands just quite yet. However, I want to...
