    Now I can understand about flogged out bodies and why they were torched never been told the fact the left body ejects the spent round not the ejector screw.

    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 ...

    Learn something new everyday. I'm going into the gun safe (right now) to remove all of my extraneous ejector screws. I don't need 'em; YouTube said I don't!

    Mmmmmmmmmm. I say that if he flicked the bolt back with the LIVE round with the same gusto he did with the spent case, then the live round WOULD have been ejected. The ejector screw is in fact the 'last resort' ejector. In short he could have made a better visual job by using a better verbal explanation

    This is also why a strong extractor spring is essential. I noticed the rail on his Mk.1* has also had the chipped slot weld repaired.

    Ejector screw is also for ejecting drill/dummy rounds & not just unfired live rounds

    I've watched a bit of this fellas YouTube stuff. Generally speaking he's pretty entertaining and informative regarding the Swissicon firearms world as he apparently a Britishicon expat. Wonder if he's a member here..

    I cannot read every post that every one puts up otherwise I would never load my wifes ammo for her to shoot on a weekend so I would much rather miss a thread than suffer the ire of a woman that shoots better than I can besides thats why I zig zag never ever to run in a straight line from her...............
