    I'm with you - thought you'd posted an anagram but that didnt fit so tried some logic - found it along with a pair of socks.
    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...

    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 ...

    Just a thought on this thread, but just HOW do you bore a slightly out of round chamber. Maybe an out of round drill or even an out of round reamer perhaps.

    Maybe someone ought to ask this question on 'that' forum

    So does this mean DP rifles with holes drilled into the chambers, the DP actually means the rifle has Drain Pipes??

    So let us know which forum, so that we can tell them they're publishing technical gibberish.

    Oh Peter, that's an easy one. You use the drill you normally use for square holes, but one size smaller than the number you first thought of!

    Really guys, it easy to drill an oval hole, you just put the barrel in a vise, crank the C--P out of it, drill the hole, release the vise and Viola! oval hole.
    There is a field expedient way also, you grind off 1/2 of one of the cutting edge of one side the drill bit, slip it into a pistol drill and go like the wind.

    We are interested on this forum of milsurps.com in discussing the Lee Enfield Riflesicon, and sharing and improving our knowledge. We don't want this thread to turn into a commentary of other web-sites. Discussing the content of a post on another web site is fine, but please avoid commenting on the web site itself. Not that anyone here has done that so far, but it is easy to stray and that would simply not be "good form."

    Thanks for your cooperation

    NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, you lot. But I'm willing to trade a reamer or two if you can guarantee it will create the drainage groove obviously required for the correct operation of LEE ENFIELDS in tropical conditions.

    Point taken Amit, but maybe someone can ask the other forum the pertinent questions. But do iso in what Officer language would be termed 'demi-official' or 'diplomatically barbed'. That way, you put your point across but you leave a nice taste afterwards
