    MKIII Barrels coming soon to Canada

    Hi Gents

    A few years ago I build a gun drill and rifling machine. Just recently I did a MK III dummy barrel. To check angles, dimensions, etc. Before profiling the real deal.

    Here are a couple of pictures. One image has a MK III forend extension to check fit in the barrel channel.

    Will start on MKIII barrels first and then move onto MKII and MKII match barrel profiles.

    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 ...

    Wait you are doing the whole rifling yourself and not just milling a blank to specs? Wow!

    Wow that is impressive! I am curious about how you set up your gun drill/rifling. I have toyed with the idea of making a rifling machine at some point, my idea would use a adjustable taper and a rack and pinion turning a small chuck which holds the tool steel for cutting the rifling. My thought simply being rifling is basically really long, shallow threading

    By changing the size of the pinion it will change the twist. ( teeth count). Rack runs the length of the gun drill. No taper used. Light scraps, sharp tool.
