    The very worst i bought had many missing parts and the bore was rusty and trashed. Witha repo jungle carbine flash hider i made a "tribute" to the Aussie early version of a jungle carbine. The ruined barrel was bored and lapped to fire .410 shells. Pretty simple to do as the bolt doesn't need mods, just a little chamber reaming and bore the barrel. I even made my own drill bit set ( long, med and short bits) from standard bits and steel round stock. Then made a hone from steel round stock slotted for emery cloth.

    The one I received was dirty as all hell but after a complete strip and clean the bore looks practically brand new and it cycles well. GREAT deal for $150

  • @traviscochran6280
    @traviscochran6280 28 днів тому +15

    Thats a win for $150. A WWI dated one even. It looks like it will clean up nicly too. I can't wait for the restoration and shooting videos.

    The one that I received had a bore similar to yours and was filthy but cleaned up well. No pitting on any metal and not wire wheeled. Several repaired cracks in wood but they were solid. It was missing the rear handguard and the firing pin screw and had a broken extractor spring and firing pin tip. 1915 dated BSA. Will run it out to the range soon and see if the bore smooths out a bit. Quite pleased with it.

    • @infamousjustice7083
      @infamousjustice7083 28 днів тому +5

      Agreed, I was incredibly surprised at the condition of mine. I was blown away. I would consider it a high B grade, no missing parts except for the rear handguard.

      Be aware that a lot of Mil surplus ammo for these is corrosive primed and even worse the primers are crimped in because the UK /Commonweath used the ammo in machine guns so they could not risk primer blow out. It is possible to decap crimped in primers but it's a bit of an art .

  • @Thehobbyist.2023

    I picked up a complete stock set the week before these went on sale. So I jumped on it and asked for one with a trashed stock but great metal and I got what I asked for. it cleaned up nicely and is now one of my favorite enfields

  • @craighansen7594
    @craighansen7594 28 днів тому +8

    Thats well worth $150, just the individual parts would bring double that. I have had a lot of experience with parts prices as years ago I purchased a large number of barreled receivers. I purchased enough parts to complete all those barreled receivers. Some of the best prices I found on good to new old stock small parts were from British sellers but the shipping was painfully slow.

  • @Wicked505
    @Wicked505 28 днів тому +9

    Looks like you got a good deal. I bought one of these as well. I got Iraqi marked 1939 and the bore was just like yours so very happy with it with that gamble. Very gunky and grimy sure still in the process of cleaning it up I also got an 95 carbine that was pretty good shape and had a good bore

    The 1916 Enfield you got has some earlier pattern milled rear sight protectors with is nice to have.
    I ordered two Enfields from RTI as well and should bave a video out for it in about a week or two. I got quite the nice surprise on one of them.

  • @frenchfan3368
    @frenchfan3368 24 дні тому

    Yes, I agree. These rifles are certainly worth the $150 dollars in parts alone. I'm not personally going to purchase one as I already own five Lee-Enfields but again the parts alone are noteworthy from these rifles.

  • @the11kaj
    @the11kaj 7 днів тому

    The lightening cutouts in the rear sight protector was part of the original design. It was in all the rifles manufactured until sometime in 1915 when it was dropped in order to simplify and speed up manufacture as a wartime expedient. They also dropped the magazine cutoff, the volley sight, windage adjustable rear sight, and the original round cocking piece. The "Mark III*" designation meant that the rifle had one or more of these changes. I restored a sporterized BSA 1915 Number 1 Mark III (no star) a number of years ago and had to search up some of these parts that had either been removed, or replaced. I managed to find the correct rear sight, and the rear sight protector. I had to settle for a repro volley sight, and a NOS forestock that had been inlet to accept it. Not perfect, but close. It did have the magazine cutoff, which when I saw it tipped me off that it might be an early one.

  • @noapologizes2018

    Bought two Enfield No. 4 Mrk 1 on a warehouse clearance sale for 150 ea. with one "Long Branch" 1944 and the other actually a No. 4 Mrk 2 with a date of 1944 but no origin. The Long Branch has a good bore. The Mrk 2 has a poor bore. I figured I could put together one gun, if many parts were missing, but the only thing I found missing were a bolt screw and a sling loop screw. They came with mags. but one may not be useful. The follower was broken and it does not insert in my SMLE. The one useful mag cleaned up well and I reblued it. Overall I have 208 in each rifle. I might be able to do a sympathetic restoration on both.

    Got one iraqi enfield from that cache and the appearance of it was that the barrel indicates it's stock was cut down but after it got imported in the forestock and upper handguard was replaced. Was out around 600 for it and the barrel was a sewer pipe with little to no rifling left.

  • @Kronas79
    @Kronas79 27 днів тому +1

    I grabbed one of the East German b-grade Walther clones. Haven't picked it up yet. The nice thing was including new parts if needed. The only thing that would have been better is if they included the original grips instead of replacement ones that say Walther. Honestly cannot justify giving them an extra $150 for the original grips that should have been left on.

    @charlene2400 22 дні тому

    I took a shot at one of those, opting for the smelly mk3*. It's actually one of my best guns from them, at least of the Ethiopia cache. Solid, but dirty stock, all parts were stuck with thick rust/dirt buildup, 1918 R999, which is cool. Couple repairs on handguards, and mag took some work to use, but bore like a new penny. Took it out today, running Hornady 150gr SP, and it kept 20 under a palm size group at 30yds. That's all the distance I got at home here. Expecting a wall hanger, or just a representative piece, I was very surprised with it.

    When I bought a b grade Enfield it had two bullets wedged in the barrel that would not come out. I told RTI about it sent a photo taken by my endoscope. They sent me a replacement a month later. That enfield they sent me would not chamber a round. I had to buy a bore hone to get it good enough to accept a cartridge. That's the last time I ever bought anything from RTI

  • @LukeD-k7e
    @LukeD-k7e 25 днів тому

    You can shorten or counterbirebthe muzzle, if it's fired alot of cordite and the lead is trashed you can remove the barrel and cut in then you have some options as in ream it for .303 but 7.62x54r works fine just need to fiddle with the mag a little, cheaper brass and factory ammo.
    Can also rechamber in 7.62x39 if the barrel is trashed new barrel or ream it out for .410 some people have reamed it out for rimmed cartridges that are 9mm or bigger but it can be expensive.
    No idea why they took a wheel to it, with the wood on and not refinishing it.....
    I would never take a wheel to any gun unless it was just in one really bad area.

    Be aware that a lot of Mil surplus ammo for these is corrosive primed and even worse the primers are crimped in because the UK /Commonweath used the same ammo in machine guns so they could not risk primer blow out. It is possible to decap crimped in primers but it's a bit of an art (if the crimp is not relieved then a punch will go right through the primer and not take it out) . If you can't deprime fired cases , all the ammunition is obviously single use.
    THe Mil surplus ammo for these typically sold at 30% of factory ammo for the above reasons in Nz and Oz. These guns are used for shooting Boar and wild deer. They aren't particularly accurate but they still do the job on Thar and Deer.
    Some of the Greek 1950s 303 British ammo sold here a few years back (therefore perhaps 60+ years old ) by a large AKLD gunshop was marketed as - "well about 9 out of ten of these will fire but they are extremely good value for money !! " At this price you can't expect them all to work......

    I missed out on this clearance sale but bought the Enfield no4 clearance. It is sitting at an FFL atm and a blackpowder vetterli and M1917 Enfield will be arriving too. The Mannlicher rifles, carbines and cutdown warehouse clearance sales are questionable for the prices (especially since I had bought a bunch of them previously and no need for anymore). Maybe if they were $100, that would be a bargain for the Mannlichers.

    This doesn’t pertain to the video, but I picked up a c grade hakim from rti. I restored it as best as I am able, but it appears that it isn’t chambered in 8mm Mauser. At the same time, while it didn’t come with a mag and the mag well was broken, I was able to fit a reproduction magazine in. I’m wondering if you might have any idea what it may be chambered in or how to tell. I wonder if someone happened to fit a Rasheed barrel onto a Hakim and it is in 7.62x39 or perhaps it’s chambered like the Ljungman. 7.62x39 MAY fit, but it would be very tight and I haven’t tried to force anything. It’s possible I haven’t cleaned it well enough and there could be buildup preventing a 7.62 from chambering.
    Honestly I’m quite confused be the whole thing.
