    Extractor cut details etc, for the MKII / 1905

    Hi all,
    does anyone have good photos, or (better yet) drawings of the standard extractor cut & feed ramps on the MkII /1905 ross's in .303? Mine has a "ringin" barrel that was very poorly fitted, which won't help at all for guidance when having the new replacement barrel fitted.

    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 ...

    You have found a gunsmith prepared to cut the threads found on a Mk. II barrel? Let me know your email address, and I'll take some photos.

    Big thanks to Tiriaq, these are the pics he took & they were a very big help in working out how to go about the feed ramp & extractor cut on a MkII barrel.

    Figured it's worth posting them here, just in case they can serve as a reference to anyone else, attempting the same (I trawled all through google images, & couldn't find any decent pics):





    Clearly the MkII on the left, with its 'gorgeous' 3 TPI thread & a MkIII on the right (for comparison)
    there's detailed drawings available for the MkIII breaching details etc, but not so the MkII's.

    Any CNC shop should be able to set up to cut the thread and the slots etc.

    Superfluous to mention it I'm sure, but the breeching shoulder on the barrel should be left a bit long initially and then turned down to fit the particular action being used.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
