I'm leaving it as is as the later models didn't have a windage adjustable sight and it's not something soldiers would really mess with in the trenches.

I just like to have things that are...

The rear sight on my MkIII has been 'pinned' with 3 punch marks on the rear sight. This sight has an adjusting screw for windage but will not budge. The rear sight is serialed to the rifle so I...

Yeah, leaving it as is is what I'm planning on. I've got other rifles that have been cobbled together that I can play with. This one has matching receiver, barrel, muzzle cap and bolt, but it's...

One of the considerations for soaking the old wood would be to remove the oils, etc, and to swell some of the dings out of it.

I paid more for this rear hand-guard than I did the 1912 MkIII that...

I now have a replacement rear hand-guard for my 1904 Sparkbrook MkI*. It's new wood so it will need staining to match the rest of the wood on this rifle. I'm torn between just staining the new wood...

Actually, I did some digging to confirm what I thought and then I sent him a message and pointed out the fact that it had indeed been FTR'd and why I thought so. I would be curious to know when and...

I should add, it's a very nice looking rifle, it's just not fully what he says it is. If I could afford to bid, I would.

"This is a beautiful 1917 SMLE(Short Magazine Lee Enfield) MKIII in .303 British with a ten round magazine. The rifle has crisp clean rifleing and the bolt cycles smoothe and easy, I checked all the...

My thoughts won't let this be settled.

The magazine that came with the 1904 BSA MkI* has the stop clip and the rounded appearance of the earlier MkI magazines. The magazine and trigger guard...

Problem Solved!

The earlier style trigger guard is now on the 1912 MkIII, swapped from the 1943 MkIII*, and the magazine marked '4' with follower marked '3' (also from the MkIII*) fits perfectly...

OK, I think I posted recently that I bought a bubba'd 1912 BSA MkIII. It came with an after-market magazine that was extremely difficult to get out. I tried my 1943 BSA MkIII* magazine and had the...

Cheap? Does that word exist in this hobby? New for $344 plus shipping, used for about $100. By any chance does it have the LoC?

What about Skennerton's 2007 book: 'The Lee-Enfield: A Century...

Neil asked me to post that he is NOT in Florida, he lives in the UK. He's forgotten his login and password and wasn't aware this site still existed. He does have some wood available, if you need...

I've only been able to find three books so far on the early Lee-Enfields. I've ordered Pegler's book and I may have Stratton's book in a box somewhere. (I've moved recently and still don't have...

John,

When did charger loading become common practice with the infantry?

The only caption I could find for this photo was:

"A British soldier (or Tommy Atkins) takes advantage of the opportunity to have a bath in Tobruk, Libya, 1942."

Thanks! I've shot him an email.

If I can complete this rifle I can concentrate on my next project which is to de-Bubba my 1912 Nr1 MkIII BSA...


Tom

It's been a long while since I've been on and I may have asked this question a while ago, if so, pardon the replication.

I would like to complete my Nr1 Mk1* Sparkbrock 1904 and all that is left...

I know some of you are familiar with this caliber and rifle.

I bought one, haven't found ammo but bought reloading dies but no brass. There's an outfit in Idaho that sells brass in .30 Remington...

A guy on FaceBook is selling a Lee-Enfield and doesn't know much about it. I think it is a Nr1 Mk1 that's been cannibalized. I don't have my SMLE books at hand right now so I can't look to see the...
