New production Lee Enfield N0.4 Mk1 barrels

[Simon P]

I had a few No4 7.62mm Heavy Barrel Target Rifles, just profiled the barrel on one of them to convert to a Standard No4 but in 7.62, also modified the action to take the 7.62mm Magazine as well.

Good for a .30 M1 Carbine calibre conversion too.

I have got one in .30 M1 carbine, its been proofed just need to configure the magazine arrangement. I'm building this one up to look like a No5.

This one came out of an action house and was described as a .303 Barrelled Action & bolt, barrel shortened.

It wouldn't take a .303 cartridge, so I took a chamber cast and it was .30M1, so all the hard work had already been done.

Its now all safely proofed for .30M1

Simon P must know all about that phrase '....where there's a will, there's an easy way' and putting it into practice. After all, he's got an MG!

I don't know about an easy way, just had to change the clutch in the MGB, it was engine out in the end, all because the thrust bearing decided to give up on me.
