    Enfield Pistol bit worn but original

    I am posting pictures of my Enfield pistol. I ran into this pistol pretty long ago . All the S/N match and it does shoot well. It is gets a couple of trips to the range every year. It does look a bit worn but I like it. It has a nice holster for going to the range. This forum was a great resource for learning the details of this pistol.

    A nice pistol with the hammer spur. A bit worn just means a story to tell.
    I did not see RAF, but I would still get a blue lanyard for it.

    Looks good, just a standard older model. I'll bet Peter worked on scads of them...before retiring them.

    I got one mint with holster marked RAF. Surplus out of New Zealandicon, 38sw and 455s, all were in great condition.
    455 were excellent plus.

    How do you get the ejector star to line up on the cylinder as I see they overhang or not indexing properly not that it matters as were are not at war does it make it a tad fiddly to get the rounds in or it is free enough not to cause any issues.

    I think that's just from wear and tear. There's enough room for the pointy end to go in and line things up anyway...

    Thread 6. There are two flats on the ejector rod that align with flats in the cylinder initially. But during the last 1/4" or so before it closes down, there is a little alignment pin on the underside of the ejector that accurately aligns with a hole in the cylinder. You can see the head of this pin just to the right of the 'toothed cam wheel', between the top 12'clock cylinder and the top right cylinder. Maybe this screwed pin is missing. The pin was a serviced part and an easy fix.

    But be warned. Occasionally after repair the pin will prevent the extractor closing down fully. This means that the cylinder nut that is INSIDE the cylinder and houses the two flats I spoke of earlier will have rotated a bit. I won't go into technicalities............. so just put a suitably shaped mandril inside the cylinder axis (we used an old extractor axis pin) and rotate the nut to adjust and fix.

    No2 revolvers........... Just good workhorses I say!

    Very nice. My 1931 is one of my favourite guns. Had to retire my put together 1930, so it's a parts source only now.
