    No4 Breeching Gauge

    Interesting gauge for breeching up barrels on the No4 rifle

    This was taken from the manual dated 1963 by RSAF Enfield for the No4 Conversions to
    7.62mm

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    This image never uploaded for some reason.

    This page mentions conversion of the No5 to 7.62mm?

    I seem to remember somewhere in the brain cells that Sierra Leone were the only big purchaser of these kits - about 250 or so! Yes....... I can't somehow imagine some Sierra Leone Armourer understanding the intrcasies of gauge limits and tolerances..............
