Hi all,
Is anyone using the current Brownells barrel clamp & action wrench set for work on Enfields?
I'm interested to hear feedback, specifically about the fit of the adaptor plate and bushings, namely:
1. The universal action wrench listed for the "SMLE" (SHORT MAGAZINE LEE Enfield Rifle ACTION WRENCH HEAD Complete SMLE Wrench - Brownells UK) has an adaptor plate that appears designed to trap the front magazine screw housing. Does this wrench have tight tolerance and therefore give suitable support to the receiver?
2. Brownells own universal barrel clamp is available with steel or aluminium bushing adaptors. There are 12 of these in each metal. Some are listed by specific rifle type, but Enfields are not mentioned. Does anyone happen to know if any of the tapered bushes are a close match for Enfield (not P14) barrel profiles, or close enough to work well with a bit of lead sheet, etc?
Yes, I know that there are probably better solutions than off-the-shelf Brownells kit, but here in UK the firearms industry is mostly dead and gone, and having this sort of gunsmithing stuff custom made is prohibitively expensive.Information
