very nice

I want one.

nice rifle but try holding the forarm so it wont bounce up on you and your groups will improve 100%

You sound like Ridley Scott.

Savage bolt head is different thred pitch U.S Fine? I believe most Enfield,s bolts are British standard pitch.

If you are still alive.....say hi! I hope you are.

I will have one in 10 days or so. If I can get it to look half as good as this one, I will be thrilled. This rifle is absolutely beautiful. I just hope I have this man's patience doing the cosmoline cleanup.

I really enjoyed this video, you have put a great deal of time into this refurb and with great results.

Beautiful gun. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us.

A relic like this, deserves an owner who knows every part

Unintentional ASMR. Beautiful

I have one of these I bought still in the armory wrapper like this. Took me forever to get all the cosmoline out of all the nooks, and cranies but its an amazing gun.

Can I buy this rifle sir.??

If I could have got an fn in 303 not 308 I'd be happy

Hopefully not in the. 308 scrap version

Thank you, for this video!

Hi at 22.06 you say you had trouble with the bedding of the muzzle which you fixed. Cal you elaborate?. Did it involve the front hand guard?

You put this up in October of 2018. And I'm (enjoying) watching it in March of 2024. It would be really informative if you put up another video about THIS RIFLE, detailing your experiences with it. Target shooting? Hunting? TRAINING a younger Family member on its SAFE USE, etc. PLEASE; consider giving those of us who VALUE such great pieces of History, and understand their significance in the grand scheme of the Drama that was the 20th Century. THANKS 😊

👍🏽👍🏽

Super video. Enjoyed watching it!

PPS The bull for a silver spoon was roughly (my memory) 10mm, and you could not touch it. That's roughly 2.5 mm off-centre. It was sixpence a bullet, cost me £££'s. No.17? Probably a Jap car bonnet.

PS This is the best 303 video on YT. Bar NONE.

England. 40 odd years ago, I met No.17. It was said the barrel was bent. It wasn't. No.17 was a 303 .22 for 25 yard indoor. I got my silver spoon, 10 consecutive bulls. Twice. They changed the target the day I shot. R soles. I then spent the next years popping away at Bisley, maybe the most distinguished range in the world. When my eyes went doolally I shot a W W Greener 12 bore at Bisley much to the disgust of the so called 'professionals' as it was a single barrel. The 'high tower' was superb.

Rear locking lugs. Not used anymore by anyone. Considered inferior but? I like the idea of both front & rear locking lugs as u think might provide superior accuracy. Think about both push pull "isometrics" with your arms to steady a pistol. If both front and rear lugs have sane push pull effect against one another esp with 3-4 lugs on both ends it will lock the bolt up lined up with the barrel round way more precisely every time. Problem is for this to be done? Requires both sets of lugs to be hand lapped in on every rifle.(Grinded down with lapping counpound till it will finally close) Bet this is why it has never been done. Too expensive per man hours for any manufacturs to do

You dummy, Another mummy wrapped one killed & Messed with 🤨🥱🥱🥱 Never take them out of the wrap.

I bought one for $179 without the scope in about 1971 . Oddly it had Savage and Holland & Holland acceptance marks. I did find an Israeli knock off of a No. 32 scope.

Will you do restorations for other people?

Here's my Lee Enfield Sniper that I restored. It is a Candian Long Branch. Mine is a faux rifle without the matched markings. ua-cam.com/video/nWpZGJpk6fk/v-deo.html.

It would be great if a company like Cimarron Firearms would make reproduction Lee Enfield Rifles like other companies make the MP-40 and STG-44.

Nice ! Thank you for sharing. I have one had for 20 years now my son fired a round through it and that was after I purchased it . I bought mainly because right before the serial number it has 1/ 50 that caught my eye because I was in the Army in the 70's 2 AD 1/50 , I just thought what a coincidence. So I bought it .

I had the priviledge of handling one like this years ago. It was a Canadian rig, I'm not sure about the differences in the British and the Candians. It was 30+ years ago.

The Price you paid for it will tell you if it is a genuine (T) Sniper Model. It looks real to me but I am not an expert.

All Wars are Fake.. Nice Rifle.

I once had a SMLE that the wood, not walnut, was a very light color. It shot some 4 inches to one side at just 25 yards. I found the fore stock was very much warped to one side. The substitute wood was so badly warped as to be unusable.

Very interesting I enjoyed it, I also respect your knowledge of your Lee Enfield Sniper Rifle, your a clever chap, I too own some Lee Enfields.

Wow

That is an absolutely beautiful example of a lee enfield

I 'm gonna be as old as this gun by the time he gets it unwrapped.

Beautiful rifle thanks for sharing

November 2023 👍🇨🇦

I bought a No.4 MkII Maltby 1944 (T). It didn't have matching sight and rifle but I was just glad to have got my hands on a (T). However, on careful inspection, several issues started to show up - all the markings didn't correspond to what I would expect on a 1944 (T). On removing the top woodwork I found the stamping 'REGULATED BY FULTON". Fulton was the final word on anything connected with .303's in England and it appears that this was an extremely good Range Rifle, probably shot at Bisley and Fulton did his wonder work on it. So, as far as I am concerned, I have a perfectly fine No4. MkII that shoots as accurately as any (T) - I demonstrated it at a sniper's course (NZ Army) and hit clay pigeons at 550 metres with standard MkVII ammunition. Not bad!

Fabulous film.

Great video. I saw your other ones too. You should make a few more.

You are certainly the the most knowledgeable, thorough and educational I have seen in this realm. Thankyou for making this video. Beautiful rifle. Your range is in a beautiful country side. May I ask what region that is?

I could watch this man talk about the history and his knowledge of firearms all day.

Very cool. Thank you for sharing

I have1 as well

Wonderful. I wonder if this gentleman is still allowed to own this classic firearm/ labor of love if he lives in England

Great restoration & video Robert
