    Enfield III* - "sport" stock recommendations

    I picked up a 1917 SMLE III* for cheap. It's already been sporterized so the damage is done. It feels like whoever did it was on a budget, or maybe it was made to be a kid's first "real" rifle. The length of pull is very short and the forestock is very narrow and shallow, to the point a bipod...

    Need Lee Enfield stock parts!

    I'm going to be picking up a No.4 Mk.1 Lee Enfield next week. I don't have any pics, but I'll update later. She's a 1942 manufacterd, like most SMLE's the stock has been sporterised. While the forestock looks like it was done well, and actualy looks good, I've always wanted a fully dressed SMLE...

    Reloading for the Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 / .303brit

    Hi folks, There's been a good thread recently on developing a good load by @Nature Boy and thought I'd add some further knowledge via my Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1. Whilst the method described by Nature Boy looks at changes in bullet velocity between powder charges and shifts in point of impact, I...

    Sleave the barrel and collectability?

    Hello everyone, My question is if you have a shot out barrel and you have it sleaved. Does it affect the collectability or value on a milsurp rifle. The rifle I'm thinking of doing it to is a Lee Enfield .303.

    Reloading .303

    Hey, I got a used .303 lee a while back. Haven't shot it, I am still working on it. Don't have much money or much gun know-how. I've shot 12ga and .22 and that is it. I was thinking about the lee loader for basic reloading for plinking and hunting, not sniper level accuracy. Here are the issues...

    Identifying marks to indicate Enfield Service use

    I have a 1944 No4 enfield sporter, not of any real historical value. I googled some of the marks and found out where it was made and all that but... Are there marks that tell about its service use, like where it was sent?

    Enfield no4 Bolt

    I have read on angelfire that you need a special tool to fully take apart the lee's bolt, ( a t-shaped thing) Is it really necessary to fully take the bolt apart, or is just taking off the breech bolt head and spraying action cleaner down there good enough?

    Putting Mount On Lee Enfield

    I just got my first rifle, a No.4 Enfield. It is an M47C, so the holes where the mount is were probably drilled by the British gov. Whatever guy had the gun before me took off the old British mount and put on a newer mount on so a modern scope could be attached. The mount was loose, so I...
