I briefly owned 1893 issue Wilkinson made bayonet Serial # 272 RRCI marked. Unmarked scabbard, never sharpened, tip broken, release button jammed due to being hammered on the pommel. I have a picture...
if you reload, careful with that Kynoch stuff, primer cups have two holes, not one centre one. new depriming pin is about $8.00.
i love it
some will, some won't, some do, some don't, some might.
I have a No1 that some no 4 mags won't fit, too tight at the front of the mag well. tiny bit of judicious filing with a needle file in the...
i`ll check after work, like i said, my eyes have a hard time focusing, and im not that old...
Got mine from my neighbour a long time ago about 1993 who is an avid bayonet collector. he bought this still wrapped in paper for the bayonet and offered the rifle to me for $200 CDN. never fired...
Thank you Salt Flat. i`ve made well over 100 upper front hand guards but only 10 rear.
i have a fore end under construction, but all work is being done by hand, and i`ve already messed up the...
These are hand guards i have made, i also made the rivets and roves for two of the rear hand guards. the rear hand guards that show the clips were the first two i made, they are on the two SMLEs...
i wouldn't`t, just like a few other`s holy grail. but if it could be proven....and i`d want one of the Originals rifles... its my holy grail
as promised, here is the answer from the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, 1914-1919 / by Ralph Hodder-Williams (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1923; 2nd ed. Edmonton: PPCLI, 1968).
PPCLI...
there are a few guys who reproduce some of the wood, not many make the fore end, not easy to duplicate properly for the masses....
I believe the PPCLI was the only Canadian regiment not issued Ross Rifles, as they were privately funded and raised. I could be wrong, and will graciously concede if i am, but have sent that...
i`d like a WW1 1914 or earlier PPCLI marked SMLE.

Thank you all incase i missed anyone...... Parashooter`s explanation made the most sense the way he explained it, no sausages, etc.
side note-- if slight upward pressure is placed on the...
Yes you are correct. i was thinking that it was catching a lot farther back than it does as i have only had the rifle for a few months, and have not really had time to do a lot with it other than...
messed around with the rifle this evening. the bolt is almost fully closed before it hangs up. it does not do this with a bolt from another No1. the "hotdog in a hallway" analogy, at least compared...
yes, thats what i do. the other enfields do not suffer the indignation of not closing properly. i do apologize for my lack of clarity in my written description of the problem..
nice job on that lou. i found that oven cleaner gets a huge amount of grease out, especially on the really bad ones.
i have a rear hand guard that split in 2 thru the rivet holes. it will be fun...
Yeah... no. its not half cock

no. still here. I just don't live on here.
Thanks for the replies. when...
almost all the way forward. maybe 5/8 inch left to go
thanks for the replies. The rifle has not been fired since at least 1964 when my father bought 3 of them for $15 or $25 for all three. he's not sure what he paid. it was missing a front sight blade...
I have the mentioned No 1 Mk III. it is in good shape for the most part. I'm not sure if this is a standard practice, but i have done it for years to avoid dry firing the rifle. the problem i have is...
