Make sure that the internal threads are well greased with a high temp heat resisting grease. COPPASLIP, a copper based grease was best apparently but not the one quoted in EMER's but readily available from the VM's

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.

Further progress...

The end result of some paint stripper, rust remover and wire wool. Unfortunately an initial attempt to repaint hasn't gone very well as the paint has gone on very unevenly. Back to the drawing board...

Cheers,
