    Took the Enforcer out shooting today

    Second time ever shooting it. First time was a couple years ago to sight it in, never did accomplish that as ran out of daylight, did get some very nice groups, was using South African surplus ball at the time.

    Went out today, got it sighted in, but the best she would do was 3 inch groups at 100 mtrs. Not good, although the groups were remarkably consistent. Was using some PPU mark 7.62 white box.

    What have some of you found that your Enforcer likes?

    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 ...

    I have found the PPU ball pretty good in some lots, usually better than the PPU match ammo. Squirreled up several thousand in between shortages a couple or three crises ago.

    But the L42a1s like either RG from the late eighties to 1990 or must be fed 150gr Sierra MKs or Nosler BTs for best results. Newer RG has not been any better than the usual surplus.
