Service Rifle...

Just thought I'd share an image of my K31 now that I have fitted a cheek piece from Pete Ogden.
The workmanship is superb, a real quality item and I can't recommend his work enough.
My rifle is a...

Thanks guys for the great response. That's given me a great head start.

Hi Guys,

I'd like a few hints and tips from those of you who cast your own bullets if possible.

I am thinking of producing some low power ammo for cast bullets to put through my SMLE for those...

Thanks Peter and Colonel. I must admit to being impressed by the standard of the stamping, it is absolutely spot on, it really does look like 1918 to the naked eye (well mine anyway) and the 7 can...

Just been trying to decode the markings on my SMLE No1 Mk 3. Think I've figured most of it out but was surprised when I looked at the year stamp through a magnifying glass that it has been very...

You really can't go wrong with any K31 so long as you make sure you check it over for the usual defects. Every one I've seen (UK) has been really bashed about on the wood whether walnut or birch but...

Crickey! You'd think I'd remember that! Must have had more to drink than I thought! Either that or I was in a different bar.

The Mermaid rings a bell. Seem to recall dark wood panelled walls with a large car park out front?

Thanks again Ridolpho, the search is on! Thanks I'd also Scoobsean, see you're from Kalamazoo, I spent a day there back in 1996 when I worked in Chicago, wish I could remember the name of the great...

Thanks Ridolpho and Rob. The idea of the PH aperture sight is an excellent one. My drive towards scoping was simply to improve my longer range shooting with the No.4, just like I've done on my K31...

Good points well made Rob. Yes, my rifle can shoot well, better than my middle aged eyes will allow it to if I'm honest. As to uncanny accuracy, I leave that to my K31! :)
My reasons for considering...

Ah I see Peter! Thanks, I'd assumed.... fatal. You've got me on a mission now, once complete, I'll report back and don't worry I won't be chasing you for advice on repairs, I'm pretty sure I know a...

Thanks for the reply, I know what you mean about staining, for clarity, I did only mean the cheek piece, I'd be horrified at staining the whole thing too. I recently acquired a lovely SMLE from Roger...

Hi Guys, my first post on here and I'd first of all like to say what a great forum this is. As a relatively new Enfield shooter (I own a SMLE and a No.4) and been shooting them for 2 years now, I've...

Hi folks,

Just thought I'd say hello. New to this forum as a member although I've travelled the information a few times historically in my search for knowledge!
I live in the UK and have been...
