Hi Guys,

I'm trying to build a 3-D model [in a CAD program called Solidworks] of the Lee-Enfield #4 MkI - as I used in my days in the Irish Army Reserve [FCÁ] - so I need fully detailed drawings, please.

I have already built a fully-detailed [and fairly accurate] model of my Mauser M96/38 - but this was done by careful measurement of my own rifle - and it's NOT the ideal way to do things! I'd be happy to share this model [or drawings made from it] with anyone from Milsurps who, like me, likes to add things like such as a Rear-Sight Adapter to hold a telescopic sight [without drilling and tapping my beautiful Classic Rifle!]. I use the model of the rifle to ensure a precise fit of newly made parts.

Thanks

Hi folks. I'm a new '44 Lee Enfield NoMk1 "Longbranch" owner! Hoping to find any info on the subject. I am also a frequent reader/contributor to the forums: PerfectUnion.com, Scoutrifle.org, ArizonaFirearmsForum.com, and Enfield-Rifles.com.

I'm not a huge gun buff, but I love the few that I own:
- 2006 Ruger Mini-14 '580' Ranch Rifle .223/5.56
- Taurus Millenium Pro PT-145 .45APC
- 1944 LE No4 Mk1 "Longbranch" .303 Brit
- 1953 Ruger Standard .22 recently sold
- looking for a double-barreled shotgun (16ga preferred...Win Mod 24 my goal)

I prefer simple, rugged firearms that go BANG! everytime. Preferrably made of steel and wood, that won't break the bank. Any history or historical lineage is always an added bonus!

I look forward to learning from ya. Thanks for having me.

hi new to thread have been interested in military surplus and firearms all my life

New to the forum and brand new to owning a Garand. More familiar with handguns but as lots of folks, that classic battle rifle, well, just had to have one. Just picked up a SA/Danish example of the M1...private seller who apparently had gotten this from the CMP at one point. 1945 receiver, 1947 bbl, with a PB bolt...hope the pics get posted. Any comments, insight into this model or things I need to look for,, etc will be appreciated.

I just came across this web site today while doing some surfing. I am happy to have found it. I've been collecting for just over a year so you can imagine how many questions I have. So far, I've picked up a nice M1 Garand, a shooter M1 .30 Carbine, a French MAS 1949/56 semi-auto rifle, a couple German WWII single shot .22 training rifles, and a Russian SKS. All I need now is to find some good, cheap ammo in bulk. Anyone have any suggestions?
