Lee Enfield No1 Mk3* assembled 1942 by BSA

Sporterised furniture but it looks like the barrel is full length so not impossible to put back to military spec if you so wish.

I would very much like to do that!

Is there any way to look in the chamber whitout loading the gun false (whitout bullets).

[browningautorifle]

Remove the bolt and it can be examined from the rear.

I ment to slide bak the piller-back-mechanic whitout havent to click it afterwards

You hold down the trigger and turn the bolt handle down, the cocking piece will go forward and you don't have to dry fire.

Ahhh, thank you

Is this looking correctly? I am afraid the barrel is changed to another caliber, det .303 fits nicely, but i am still afraid, what is the measurements of the barrels outer diameter and the exit hole at det barrel??

[browningautorifle]

Do you not have a bullet to try at the muzzle? The bullet should go in but leave a few mm showing...the casing looks right. What makes you think it's been altered? The pictures show a barrel that should be 303". Or are you telling us that cartridge is stuck in the chamber?

[cmi]

The bullets fits fine in the camber, but when i tru to put the bullet tip in the baller tip it wont go all the way in, that is why i am sceptic...

it should not go all the way in , it should be a tight fit ,

this is a BSA dispersal rifle , i would make the effort to return it to military configuration ,
