    Thanks for this. I recently purchased/rescued a sportified 1944 Australian Smle mk3 and I intend to restore. I hadn't started cuz I couldnt find a reliable disassembly video until now. Thank you so much! I can finally start on my project!

    Just as a comment, there is rarely any need to remove the forestock, and doing so can easily effect accuracy. The barrels on the SMLE were fairly thin, and when the rifles were assembled were carefully bedded by hand, especially at the inner band and at the upper band with the bayonet lug.

    • @HistoryinFirearms

      Thanks mate. Unfortunately, she's in fairly shabby, sporterised condition, however bubba was extremely lazy, and gave up after chopping the forestock, and removing the handguard, so all the metal is intact, and unmolested. With a little work, I think I should be able to bring her back into military configuration.

    I have a no1 mrk3 ishapore, it has been sporterized and I am taking it back to full wood. The problem I have is the rear sight wood which clips to the barrel , what I dont know is how to fix the clip to the wood without damaging the wood ,am concerned I will split the wood . It also goes for the band at the front of the barrel again where there is a cap held by the rivets . Any help would massively appreciated, thanks

    Thank you for this excellent video! By far the most professional and comprehensive SMLE disassembly video on UA-cam! I have a question regarding re-assembly - how tight should the inner barrel band screw and the lower nose cap screw be set to maintain the accuracy of the rifle? Do I tighten them until they bottom out? Thank you!

    • @HistoryinFirearms
      @HistoryinFirearms  Рік тому

      Thank you and glad you found it helpful! I have always hand tightened them but have not pushed the rifle out to distance to check accuracy. Consistency in tightening those would likely improve accuracy. Varying the torque on those and checking the group may be an interesting video 🤔

    This disassembly is wrong. You must remove the stock before you remove the lower barrel wood section or you can split it.

    • @HistoryinFirearms
      @HistoryinFirearms  Місяць тому

      Thanks for the input. In the INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARMOURERS, from The War Office, dated 30th September 1931, it states to remove the fore-end prior to the stock butt. Additionally, it highlights, "Attention is drawn to the importance of removing the fore-end before attempting to unscrew the stock bolt."
