    No.4 101

    Hey all,

    A while ago I started a youtube channel for fun, here's a "buyer/newb" guide to the No.4.
    I am terrified to post this here as there is so much Enfield wisdom but it is ment as a basic crash course, pretty much all the things I wished were in one video when I got into this.
    Make sure to watch in 1080! and let me know what you think.

    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 ...

    Your voice is better than mine. A little sing song, but OK. Scripting might be good.

    The "Ishapore Screw" is of Britishicon origins. More common on Indian rifles, though.

    Would leave out "not needing" stuff. This isn't about needing! Quite a few folk over the pond are happy with deacts!

    BTW, if it works for you that's fine, but I can't recall the last time I saw anyone shooting with both elbows on the bench as support. And that's saying something...

    With work it could be a useful intro. Not quite ready yet.

    But better you than me! This internet thingie is more exposure than is comfortable sometimes.

    I agree that he didn't use a very good bullet choice to show the difference between a 174gn. FB and a 174gn BT but his point is correct and well made. I reckon that the difference in bearing surface between a FB spitzer and a BT spitzer is the that FB has about double that of the BT.

    Over the years I have consistently found that groups will tighten up with the use of a FB bullet.

    I think it's worth the effort to do a few run-throughs. Each time ought to get picked apart and improved. Unlike a professional actor, you've no script, no director, and little to no support crew. And those folk often require many takes to get a worthy finished product.

    Not a small challenge to get scrutinized and approved by our picky lot!

  10. Thank You to jmoore For This Useful Post:
