    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

    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..............
