  1. Loose Enfield Stock

    Okay - hold up. If you have a No.1 Mk III, you need to take the forestock off first. If you turn the stock screw without removing the forestock you will crack the forestock. There is a square end on the stock bolt that locks into the forestock. You'll need to re-orient this correctly when you...

    Need help with new Enfield

    Sounds like you need to soak it or take it apart as 10th Mtn suggested. Look on fleabay for a bolt tool from a guy called messer_optics. Probably the best I've come across. If you're going to have an Enfield, you're going to need one of these so definitely not money wasted. This tool works...

    Need help with new Enfield

    Unfortunately yup - I have :) Do you think it is still in relation to the feed lips? Try cycling with the magazine out and see if it still does this. I've never seen a bent firing pin - I'm going over the construction of the bolt in my head and it seems that it would be hard to bend this...

    Need help with new Enfield

    The old girl took 3rd? Great job!! Hmmm...I'm stumped on the excessive resistance on closing - if you're saying that you are comparing to other Enfields. Obviously you know it's cock on close - but it should be yes resistance but not to the point you need to use your leg muscles to close it...

    Wow - that's a tiny bit over an hour for me! I'm going to have to watch for another match! Thanks for posting that.

    Need help with new Enfield

    LOL - that rig is hilarious! Just FYI ... I'm still learning about Enfields - there's so much to know about these rifles. I have 7 of them - watch out they're addicting! As long as she's in good working order you're fine. That old girl is a tank and will take what you feed it.

    Need help with new Enfield

    Okay now you're opening up a whole new world! Yes, bolt sizes on No. 4's are sized - was easier for the field armorers to change to a higher number. And there's really no science to that as you can grab a bolt head size 3 and it is smaller than your bolt head size 2! Not the case with the No...

    Ammorenzen - a new bolt? Just curious why you think you need this? Or did I read something wrong?

    Need help with new Enfield

    Here you are Aorrenzin - this will turn you on to 303 :) No bluing on these bad boys (Ishapores) - they were (well, some were) phosphated or parkerized, then a black paint (usually sprayed). It isn't the typical suncrolite as the Brits use, but some domestic product they found lying around...

    Need help with new Enfield

    By the way - if you want a relatively inexpensive way to finish the metal, I have used Brownell's Aluma-Hyde. It works very well and very close to the original finish. Do this on a warm summer day (as we have plenty of them approaching).

    Need help with new Enfield

    Second picture easy - nope Magazine - sounds like a combination of a worn back strap and bent lips. Maybe some adjustment of the lips would help or fix the problem - but if the back strap is gone then it's pretty much new magazine time. Below is a good reference to read through - it is for a...

  13. Enfield parts search

    I think EFD is going to be the place to get it if you want one anytime soon. I'll keep my eye out as I'm looking around but don't really run into MkI parts! Gun Room LLC - my go to shop!!! I was just out there this past weekend and don't remember seeing any sporterized No.1's (probably...

    Salvaging a bubba'd Savage Enfield

    Well, based on even the grand chief Peter Laidler himself getting involved - the receiver is toast! Unless I could find someone who could do the welding on that rail, there's no hope. I did get the sight off before this word came by just grinding it off then sanding the barrel. I did find a...

    Salvaging a bubba'd Savage Enfield

    Thanks for the info on the solder - I'm going to try it briefly and if I cannot then off to a smith. Regarding the rail - a little more looking around and it seems that the Savage and Long Branch rifles with these slots typically had a bolt head with a chamfered slot, allowing it to glide...

    Salvaging a bubba'd Savage Enfield

    Gentlemen, I'm smart enough to take these apart, detail clean, finish in some cases, and put them together. I purchased this bubba'd Enfield that I have a couple questions I was wondering if you could help. First, the front sight. It has been soldered on - I'd like to remove this clean...

    Lee Enfield Stock

    Anything with Peter's name on it is golden. The stock is so nice I would personally take my time and try patching it myself. The worse you can do is totally muck it up. If you do, then go the used stock way. But using a used stock - you could be getting into worn draws too, etc., which...
