    [QUOTE=Is that a little blob of weld I can see, to fix the barrel to the main body?[/QUOTE]

    Yes, I would say it is on the head of the UKicon required spec. Drilled through the receiver & barrel, to have a steel pin inserted. & the head welded over to prevent barrel removal.

    UGLY & HORRIBLE!!!! What would it have taken, to have simply countersunk the hole after drilling the Recievier. Insert the pin, & weld it over. Then, dress flush & a small dap of paint?........
    Even when you deactivate a weapon to make it a useless lump of metal. What happening to craftsmanship/ professional workman like standards?............

    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.

    It would have been better to have drilled from the underside of the gun and that way you would never see the pin. That's how a number of UKicon dealers do it.

    I have been spending some time on the milling machine and have done the modifications to the front of the body.
    my next step will be to modify the butt slide. I have not been able to find any detail on what was done to the butt slide. I do have several pictures showing that metal was removed from the lower side of the rails. but was that all that was done?
    thanks
