I paid CN$12 for mine in 1958 at Simpson-Sears in Guelph, Ontario,. It came with 200 rounds of .310 Cadet Mil-surp FMJ ammo that today would be worth way more than the rifle. I gave mine to my cousin...

84mmCarl-Gustav:

The Lee Enfield, .303 British rifle can soot cast bullets as well or better than commercial jacketed bullets or mil-surp FMJ ammo, IF you figure out what your gun likes. Keep...

Long Ranger,

The "standard fix" for a broken firing pin on a Martini Enfield rifle is to have a short piece of drill rod of the proper diameter soldered into the firing pin. If you an't do this...

Also many Pre-5C Savage/Stevens No.4Mk1 (no *) were made with 6-groove, right hand twist barrels.

Dayton-Traiser offers a cock-on-opening conversion for the No3 Mk1 rifle also known at the P-14 (and M-1917) or the American Enfield rifle. This conversion comes with both after market trigger and...

Absolute crap! I won't even pick up once fired S&B .303 British cases at the public gun range. The ammo is good for those who don't reload, actually pretty good, just don't bother to try to reload...

From my understanding and looking at real examples, early Savage No4 Mk1 (not *) rifles had 6-groove barrels until about halfway through 5C series serial numbers in 1942. They were right hand twist 1...

JSS,

I got a couple of my 7.62 Enfields from my Canadian relatives when the long-gun registery took effect several years ago. Living on the border in Western New York, it was relatively easy for...

Newcastle:

Top rifle is a Longbranch '43 No1/3 DCRA, 2nd from top: Parker Hale 4T. 3rd from top: A.J. Parker "Excel". Bottom: Canadian-built scrubbed No4 Mk2 target rifle with Enfield 7.62 barrel...

I managed to accumulate these four in about 20 years of collecting. All were from various estate sales.https://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/2012/04/Daves7624s-1.jpg

Early C5XXX Savage rifles would also have a 6-groove barrel

I recently came across a Parker Hale No4T rifle. The shop that had it thought it was a "bubba" but a nice one. There are no other makrings except a serial number on the bolt ans The Parker Hale 4T...

The barrel will screw into the action but there is no provision for fitting the '03s rear sight since the 03-A3 has the rear sight on the rear action bridge. Other than that, a 2-groove barrel will...

Anyone have any knowledge of a A.J. Parker "Excell" made on a L.E. No.4Mk2 action in 7.62X51? I have one that was sold to me as a "sporter." It has AJP target sights, a heavy barrel and a very glossy...

23 grains of SR4759 with the 500 grain bullet. 25 grains of SR4759 and the 405 grain bullet. Less than black powder pressures at the same velocity.

I have had similar results using Winchester large rifle magnum primers. Not only ar ethe cups tougher/thicker but the outside diameter is a few thousandths larger. Large/lose primer pockets are not...

I purchased 200 .307 Winchester brass cases in place of 7.62 NATO cases to reload for my Long Branch DCRA. These feed very well from a "standard" 7.62 magazine and do not require any modification of...

Fire-forming new (unfired) brass with the case head held tight against the bolt face will give you cartridge cases that headspace on the case shoulder. If you thereafter neck size only, those cases...

The minor weight differences you get with IMR4759 and a powder measure should not be a problem. However some powder measures (Lyman 55?) allow the coarse powder to "bridge" and allow some of the...

My No4Mk2T (India) is minus the Ishy screw Has a Lyman Alaskan 6X scope and can perform Gnat circumcisions at 100 yards. Simply neutering Gnats is no big deal.

My favorite cast load is 35 grains of surplus WC860 and a LBT .268-140SP-GC bullet made from wheel weight alloy. Alternately 38 grains of Reloder Rx22 and fill case to bullet base with PSP shot...

I have a CNo.4Mk1* Long Branch rifle with a 6-groove barrel made on the Bren machinery. It has the tightest bore and chamber of any of my Lee Enfields. It also has the tightest headspace. The wood...

25 grains of SR4759 and the Lee .475-400 bullet made from 1 in 20 tin/lead.
