And BP loads were only used for little more than three years. Metford rifling soon washed out with cordite which was why most of the rifles were rebarreled with deeper Enfield rifling

OH, by the...

Those "andirions" were a pair of shells from a Civil War Parrot rifle! the people installed them in their vacation cottage, then went for a walk until the house warmed up. Took out the fireplace...

they are all in my walk-in closet:wink:
Seriously they are still available but the prices have gone up A LOT

Seems that the Canadians managed to re-equip themselves with SMLE's only to be told to turn them back in because they didn't pick up the bayonets as well. Later rectified.
Ross sold up and retired...

I thought the "group buy" was closed some time ago?????

Whatever happened with these? Have seen nothing on them since everybody put their names down.:sad:

I still wonder what the point was in destroying the rifle?:evil:

It may "look right" but it's FAR less valuable than the unbuggered version

One caveat. DO NOT dry fire these rifles. The one I bought had been dry fired and the chamber was peened. Would not chamber a round. Took it back to the gun store and they repaired it

Six P14's and one M1917(with RCAF property stamp)

Well I did buy a Lyman black powder measure, and I use the aluminum Drop tube with it.

I never could understand WHY you had to type on a telephone!
My other question is WHY if you need one, do you need to have all the other features?

Best thing about the surgery is I can drive at night and oncoming headlights no longer look like firework starbursts

Slight correction . Neither SSA or NRF, when SSA was taken over by the gubmint produced complete rifles. Only recievers, barrels, trigger guards and barrel bands.
The firm was used as a "Feeder...

Depends on which vintage M&H you have. While they all will accept a 44-40 case, there is a difference in bullet diameters between 44 Winchester and 44-40.
I have a pair. One will accept 44-40 but...

Now folks you got to realize them hazmat fees are just the gubmint protecting us from all those trucks that used to blow up every day on the highways while carrying Black powder.

How about reducing the amount of powder you pour into the cartridge case?

Any military firearm in the U.K. sold out of service is required to go through proof before it can be put on the civillian market. (even if it was on a military firing range the day before)

My No4 was converted to 7.62x39 by Black River Armory. Uses Czech single stack AK mags.

By the way is was a bubba job to start with, so no original rifle was harmed in the process.

Keep in mind a Lee Enfield is NOT an M16. Each magazine was fitted to the rifle and it was only to be removed when cleaning the rifle.
The ONLY Enfield that had a spare magazine was the Lee Metford...

I think you meant gaging the ammo in Aircraft Vickers. I once saw a WW1 pic of aircraft belts being loaded. Hanging from the table was a vickers barrel, and each round was dropped into it before...

Aside from all the remarks, there is a book on the subject if it's still around, called
The Paper Jacket by Paul Matthews
Wolfe Publishing Co.
Prescott Arizona
It covers EVERYTHING on the subject...
