    Another question, but also in this relation, finally: What about the probability of success by reproofing an Enfield Enforcer for 20 tons, outgoing from 19 t-proof. A rifle in good condition, of course - what is your experience ??..

    Please ?

    I have no idea if your Enforcer would pass higher proof, the thing to consider is that if it fails and the high pressure distorts the body (action) then you are now left with an unusable rifle - only usable for display or scrap.

    Rather than re-proof my Enforcers I just use the ammunition they were designed (and prooved) for.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Exactly.
    Seems too complicated for some though.
    Whats-his-name that does the Bloke on the Range stuff on Youtube lives in Switzerlandicon, and he doesn't seem to have any difficulty getting hold of NATO 7.62 to feed his Frankenrifle No.4 conversion or his ex-British Army SLR.
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.
