no hot babe picture to offer.

 

[Picton]

Got no babe, either, but here are my Enfields: the usual cheap JJCO Lithgow one on the bottom, and the all-matching JC up top.

She is a beauty.

For the after picture... see my next post.

 

[dhuze]

You make me sick.

Here is one that belongs to a friend in the UK from a private collection . It's real and was used in the 1980's by a Royal Marine of no small fame.

WW2 silenced .45 ACP Enfield.

UK? 1980's? Falklands War?

I was expecting some grief for my first pic of a Bubbed sporter. You all are very polite.

Here is the after picture of the above post of mine. That is what the gun looked like when I bought if for $50. This is the after picture. It was a diamond in the ruff as it is a Lithgow, 1913.

I love restoring bubbahed Enfields and have done it many times. Wood right now is very hard and expensive for the No. 1. The only place I know to find it is Eflay.

What year and who made it?

 

[MJ1]

Nice LB Juergen. They made some nice rifles and I have one that is well used but still shows the quality of tool work from Canada. i have a friend in the UK who has an LB T with the Canadian REL scope he shoots at Bisley in action shoots and 900M long course.

Its in front in the first pic

 

[MJ1]

Nice shots Ray. I wish I could seen them lager, for some reason all I get on this site is a 2"X3" but they look very nice. Great wood color. How about a full size picture of the SMLE with the steel on it?

 

[majspud]

OK, I can just see it; eyes are not what they used to be. Might still get one; finish the American collection.

Some "action shots"

 

[SKS Ray]

I really should get the Brits out for some better pics. Maybe a range trip this weekend to the 500 yard line is in order and then some photo ops

Yes get out. I need an outing with my SMLE. It took for ever to find the right one for shooting.

I use the 174g SMK for the #4's that had never shot FB bullets and 150g Game Kings for the others under 300M

Some day they will make us a 175g .311" flat open base pellet.

Tbh I'm not entirely sure. I think it's Australian made from 1917ish. It's been a safe queen for a long while as I search for a furniture set.

Thought I found a full set at the Marlboro club. But it was sawed a bit.

Something a little earlier. Enfield rifle made in 1862 with Snider conversion installed in 1866.

I just sold my .303 Winchester. Some guy just had to have it and pestered me for weeks till I caved at $800. Great bore but it had a small crack at the wrist. He went away giggling Gorilla Glue! Gorilla Glue! Took a whole hour before I regretted it.
