Remember, we are showing you what we do, not how to do it. If you do not possess the necessary skills to perform work at this level, do not attempt to replicate what you see here. If you're going to be dumb, you have to be TOUGH
Editing a short drop about flash hider effectiveness, how it groups, and necessary sight moves. The gun runs well, groups about 3 inches @100 yds, and the customer is ready to use it as the tool he needs. 99 other Mk4's are gone now due to a total lack of maintenance.
Keep it going Mark, you deserve your own network!!
"because if you're watching this video, you believe in doing maintenance" - That's true Mark, and we love watching your work!
Part 2 is up for your enjoyment.....................
As an Australian ...these sorts of modified No4's and SMLEs are very common..... accuracy well minute of pig as about what most do
According to the book "Lee Enfield", during the panic production of the second world war, it was found that providing the leade (throat) at the barrel breech was of the correct diameter and length, and the last six inches and crowning were as well, then the bit in the middle had little effect on accuracy. The gauges were changed , and only those dimensions were checked. Savage even made barrels with two groove rifling.
Your dead right, I had a savage with 2 groove barrel and it shot great!
If anyone's gonna do this to a gun I'm glad it's you. You actually give a hoot about making it look nice and almost-could-be-official
It's also great that they chose an appropriate donor rifle instead of just grabbing the nearest Enfield.

Just to put this out there as to why the barrel wobbles so much. I was listening to a podcast or Q&A (i forget where) that had Bloke on the Range. He said what the British discovered was that you only had to have the last 6 inches of the barrel perfectly straight for it to be accurate. It made gauging and production of the barrels much faster since they didn't have to straighten the whole thing.
YES
Finally someone who actually has the talent to repair, modify and teach. I have found a website that I can not only enjoy but also learn. Love your candidness and matter of fact approach. I can spend my time catching up on all your videos I have missed. OUTSTANDING
“It’s got a poplar bottom on it.” I knew a girl like that once.
If the gun is already "destroyed" then why not modify to your heart's content? I'd like a no.4 with a no.1 nose cap.
Can do, if you already have the parts
@@marknovak8255 I wish. But I got two projects that you can work some magic on. Can you reline a barrel, or should I go with a specialist like John Taylor or Redman's?
Got a pallet of them just a bit north in Canada if you like.
He did a video a a bit ago where he tells you how to contact him so he definitely sees your message.
@@blackirish781 I'll message him when I can pay for it. Lol It'll be a while.
I like this project for a few reasons: It involves a really cool WWII era gun. It recycles old, clapped-out components. And it makes an awesome, one-of-a-kind gun that didn't sacrifice an entirely matching piece of history.
Good stuff, man. I've fallen down the rabbit hole and you've got yourself a new subscriber.
Such a shame. I’m pretty sure that gun belonged to Sir Laurence of Arabia and it was used during the battle of the Alamo. It should’ve been in a museum and now all is lost.
Just kidding. You’ve made a beautiful truck gun from a heap of garbage and I’m happy for the owner. 👍
A gunsmith I know has been doing this mod for many years. As we're in Canada, he calls them Tundra Carbines. FWIW, he also makes a very nice takedown No. 4 and does the nicest trigger job on them that I've ever experienced. 50 years ago in Canada, stores used to stock them muzzle down in 55 gal. barrels for under $10.
I have a No. 4 Mk I that was sporterized in the 1960's or 70's and I spent years (beginning in 1985) acquiring parts to restore it.
So, when you first started describing what you were going to do, my heart skipped a beat and my mind started racing with images of Alfred Hitchcock and Stephen King movies. I was horrified! Then, after you described how the barrel was going to be shortened, I watched the threads being cut and how you took a saw to the upper hand guards and then the lower, I nearly cried.
OH, THE HUMANITY!
When I recovered from nearly fainting and saw the aftermath, I had to rub my eyes to make sure I was seeing what was on my screen. Once you spliced the upper hand guards together and put the receiver in the lower fore-end, I finally saw what you wanted to convey to us earlier, a tanker...A TANKER SMLE! I liked what I saw.
Now, I can't wait to see how she turns out.
I'm gonna need popcorn....maybe some candy....oh and a Coke, can't forget the Coke.
And, don't forget some smelling salts!
Your description of its 11° crown got a genuine snicker out of me.
Seems like there's a lot of people out there that missed the comment about there being more than one way to get something done, that haven't actually tried doing anything worth mentioning. Thanks for the motivation to get my own work done.
Cool Video ! Those of us in Canada that own number 5 Jungle Carbines use them for moose and bear. My personal jungle carbine was my first center fire rifle. I got it at a woolco store when i was 14 for 32 dollars. 1968 . My mother was the adult that bought the gun ,20 dollars was my own hard earned money. As an adult I used that rifle daily for 30 years on a North Coast BC Canada trap line. It now lives mostly in a safe .and every once in a while it comes out to harvest a bear.
As a retired gunsmith of 40+ years it was fun to watch your ideas. Just a thought I would have used a live center when cutting the threads on the barrel. Anything that you can do to a Smile will help it.
That setup got the last 3 inches of the bore running true to the muzzle device. I'll take it...there were other things going on here that we didn't talk about, or were edited out. But you get that
One thing about using a SMLE for a truck gun is the detachable magazine. Many states don't allow a gun with ammo in it while in a motor vehicle and magazine makes it fast to load.
It's a pleasure to find a gunsmith who knows what he doing. Your bench and shop shows that you are busy and competent...
That's going to be a quick and dirty truck gun . Thirty hrs in the shop and most likely many happy years in the truck gonna be a good dear gun in the end
As a Scotsman living in Texas.......... waaaant it!

Really looking forward to how this comes out. I have a No 5 that someone put into an ebony tipped Reinhardt Fajen forestock and a matching monte carlo buttstock with a poly finish. It's hideous but a decent foundation for a forestock project like this. Thanks for sharing !
Can't wait to see the finished product, looks like it's gonna be pretty rad.
e: I sent you an email a little while back about a 10A to 10 Trench Conversion, been a while since I sent it, was wondering if you saw it? Thanks.
You were thinking of a cut down (or sawn off) Mosin Nagant--called an "Obrez."
msuitepyon they supposedly had some chopped down lee Enfields for tunnelers. Supposedly
Or he was thinking of the cut down ones from new hope the desert junkers use
Good one. 👍
@@gabemando7823 sounds like an armourer's job and not a real military adoption
Slaughter Round if I recall they had evidence of them after the war, not during, and they were from the German’s perspective, hence the supposedly
First, Take the barrel out of the receiver with the Correct Barrel/Receiver wrenches. Then center barrel with 4-jaw and then center muzzle with Steady.
Then all the Crowning and Threading
With a concentric bore, for correct threading for muzzle brake/flash-hider.
Also easier in the first instance to cut the barrel down to Carbine lenght.
Doc AV
Agree. It pained me to watch this.
Thats looking good. I am looking forward to seeing the final product.
The original front furniture is beech , as was commonly used by the poms for most rifles after WW1 ( ran out of walnut haha . Definitely don't want to shorten a 303 too much , muzzle flash and blast is considerable .The 'woop ' in that barrel haha
LOTS of woop
I did this to my first No4, back in 1964. I don't remember who made the rifle was but I recall it was nice. Your 2 vids got me to open the LE safe and dig a few out.
I love watching a maker / engineer create. Glad YT suggested this.
I can't wait for the next episode on this. These kinds of projects really interest me because I like to tinker around with things but have no shop or tools with which to do projects that require machining or a lathe. I'm pretty much limited to hand tools and a drill press and the crappy shot out junkers that I can find on gunbroker. But something like this project I could do almost all of it myself plus the keeping it looking like it was a factory modification is one of my things as well. It reminds me of an M14 tanker version.
Though one wonders why he didn’t just buy a $500 slightly trashed #5 or a Santa Fe fake #5, would be cheaper I think?
Hey Mark, for the type of service that this carbine is going to see, I think the accuracy will be more than adequate. Gonna be a sharp looking, fast handling little gun, nice work!
Exactly, as a truck gun in Montana it just needs to be minute of bear at a distance of "Oh Shit" and it is pent accurate enough
@@micahreid5553 Permission to use the above accuracy specification on my customers....That's great!
Mark, I love your work. Probably be a fun shop to work in!
That said, I think I'd have dial indicated the chamber of the barrel to dead nuts. Then performed a static tram to insure that the steady rest is perfectly aligned 😁👍
Canadian Rangers retired their No4 mk 1s in 2018, 77 years after it was first put in to service.
A lot of them are going back to their Enfields unofficially. the new Tikkas aren't holding up as well in the extreme climates. When they bring the cold Tikkas inside moisture is building up on them and then it freezes again locking the actions in place. there was so much slop in the Enfield actions that the frost wasn't an issue.
Like we said, this design is not all that precise, but it is TOUGH
Love these videos Mark! really makes one appreciate the art and engineering behind gunsmithing work
I am loving this evolution Mark!
I'm all pins and needles to see the final product.
40:33 he's got three hands
Former nuclear submariner. :)
You have to if your gona be a gunsmith
Noticed the same here.. no.4 hand on a sigar ?
how can u quote atf? they cant even quote their own rules.
The short version you were trying too think of , is De Lisle carbine 303 action and stock or metal sterling stock , M 1911 mags and a Thompson barrel fully silenced in 45 ACP used mostly by the British commandos for eliminating enemy sentries
No, he was thinking of an Obrez Moisin.
That flash suppressor looks like it came off of no5 jungle carbine.
Great vid as always, keep the creative juices flowing.
40:10 in... bang! “miss me!” as Mark hand saws the front stock and doesn’t miss a beat. LMAO 🤣
Awesome work! I'm really stoked for the end result
A little taste goes along way with a conversion, I've found. It's not hard, it just takes time. Perusing the RIA catalog, there are some actually decent sporters out there. There's a whole lot more crap, though.
I've been searching for a 1917 of adequate lack of quality to convert to a Chinese short rifle, and stripped receivers for those seem to have utterly disappeared, so a 308 sporter project I have all the other metal for (including a barrel and magazine assembly) is also on indefinite hold. I guess it gives the chunks of ebony I got time to dry out a bit more.
Chinese short rifle?
@@googlepissoff5776 www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/01/16/m1917-carbine/
Here's an article from Othias
The last MK 3’s left Lithgow in the mid 50’s, even after they’d made the first L1A1 SLR’s. Problem with short Lee Enfields is they are very loud and concussive. In India they still issue them to certain police units.
This may sound weird, but I really respect your ability to say "that's good enough". It's a hell of a hard lesson to learn in my painful experience. That lathe setup was gnarly. Your lathe is bigger than mine, but it looked like over 5 thou of runout at the muzzle. I think I'd have given up or burned up an unreal amount of time trying to make it better. My hat's off to you.
Burned up an UNREAL amount of TIME..................and that is the point I've been trying to make. Thanks, my hats is off to YOU
Awesome project! Can't wait to see it finished! I wanted to do one of these years ago, and never got around to it. Ended up selling the rifle I had planned on using. Now my interest is rekindled. Time to dig up another Enfield.
24 inch (length of barrel) - 16 3/8 inches (desired length) = 7 5/8 inches You can remove 7 5/8 inches from the 24 inch barrel at the muzzle and get a 16 3/8 inch barrel.
Mark?? You making a truck gun is like Michelangelo painting someone’s bike.
Spending a lot of money for something that's going to get beat to crap, yes.
But fascinating to see Mark's thinking.
I love it when marks 3rd hand appears
any machinist would have had a stroke watching the lathe portion LOL.
The barrel was that out of round. All the dancing in the back was necessary to have the last 3 inches of the bore running true.
Especially breaking the rule to have no more stick out than 2.5 x the diameter of what you're turning.
@@stevendupre2792 is that rule for the chuck or the steadi rest?
@@ScottKenny1978 Either, or. Its for any stick out. I also know he's full of it about having the barrel indicated because he has no way of knowing that the OD of the barrel (where its riding on the steady rest) is also concentric with the ID.
@@stevendupre2792 so, when the barrel is a corkscrew, how do you determine bore concentricity?
The only way I can think of involves stuffing a soft copper rod that is land diameter into the bore and making sure it doesn't wobble as you rotate the barreled action.
I'm not a machinist and usually can't get my fingers to do what my eyes want but it's fascinating to just watch what a master can do. Thx. for your vids.
And now begins the 72 page long waiting list for all of us that have the parts laying around and pray that Mark makes these regularly... :-)
There are so many bubba’d “lost cause” Mauser 98 actions out there that could be turned into truck guns, not sure why the guy sent you an Enfield lol
It's what he had, and he wanted a #5 sorta lookalike
I had a Mauser rechamber in a 308 I love the hell out of it
A Mauser action would be a better use of time but... chopped enfield is pretty unique so it’s got some cool factor
A mauser 98 in 9.3x62 shortened down into a k88/g91 size, with a stutzen stock and mannlicher fore-end.. recoil would be pretty stout..
I'd dig a short Enfield in .280/30 but I hate cock on close actions so I'm probably going to get a K31 or Mauser 98, UK sucks so not like I can practically own all of them :(
I just had my mind blown how barrel length is explained. Never actually have taken a ruler to any of my firearms but I've shot some long revolvers and what he explained totally makes sense to me.
It makes sense. Except legally, in both the USA Canada, barrel length is measured from the back end of the forcing cone and does not include the cylinder. He put out a correction on that in a later episode.
Revolver barrel length does not include the cylinder/chamber. That's why a 4" revo and 5" auto show approx. the same velocity, and why Canucks need 4.2" revolvers for legality.
Great video Mark. This one has really captured my interest. Looking forward to Part 2.
Plenty of "gunsmiths" can install aftermarket parts and build AR's. How many can make something entirely new and make it look like this?
There's a HUGE difference between a Gunsmith and a "parts changer"!
@ 4:00 the gun he is trying to remember is the Obrez pistol and it was a Mosin Negant rifle turned into a pistol.
Yep
Ive seen a obrez 303 british. Really bad ass looking. Id be abit shy to fire that weapon 1 handed hahaha must be fun shooting that beast.
Having grown up around guns, I had always heard that......the Enfield was built for it's toughness, the Mauser was built for it's look's and the Springfield was built for it's accuracy. I never handled a Mauser much, but I can attest to the other two having those attributes. Great series Mark, thank you so much.
May I add...the M1917 has the best of all 3 and none of the vices.......
My opinion: the Springfield is the best of all 3. I have handled all 3 of them but only own a Mauser and Springfield (by choice). The Springfield has action speed and smoothness comparable with the Enfield, but action strength comparable with the Mauser upon which it's based. There's a lot of things about the Enfield I simply don't like. The problem is the original gun did not possess sufficient action strength (different from external ruggedness), and this limited the power of .303. And because Britain didn't want to change cartridges or fully retire the earliest guns, this removed incentive to make future guns more robust which, in turn, precluded any significant loading improvements on the existing cartridge. It was a never-ending circle-jerk that ultimately crippled Britain's small arms development for over 50 years. Had the original rifle been stronger, the cartridge could have either been more powerful to start with or refit with improved powders later on. You look at the Mauser, the 1903, the Mosin. All of these were sufficiently strong actions that they were able to fire significantly more punishing rounds than they originally released with. Then you see the Enfield, limited to its slow-burning powders in order to keep bolt thrust under control.
@@WardenWolf It may be technically right what you say about the strength of the Enfield system, but did it make the Enfield a worse infantry weapon? The higher power of 8x57, 7,62x54R or .30-06 may be a technical advantage and give you theoretically a higher range. But lying in a trench or attacking enemy-occupied villages, typically fighting at distances between 20 and 200 meters what difference does it make?
I think the lower powered cartridge is even an advantage since the lower recoil puts less stress on the soldier and makes follow-up shots easier.
The development of infantry weapons and calibers pretty much prooves that.
But then, machine guns are a completely different pair of shoes...
@@WardenWolf Well the British did indeed look at changing the cartridge and the rifle prior to WWI. If the war had not started the British would have continued the development of the Pattern 14 rifle in a different cartridge. The large amount of .303 left over after the Great War (and financial crisis) led them to improving the old standby they had. The US 1903 was a Mauser (the US paid royalties for patent infringement to Mauser). The Pattern 14 was the British interpretation of the Mauser. The US Model 1917 was the US conversion of the British interpretation of the Mauser. So yes, they did decide the Mauser design was superior.
I have a mk3 no1. BSA Serial # dated to 1943, acurized by holland and holland as a sniper rifle but never issued. All matching numbers including the sling and extra magazine and all proper paperwork. It’s never been fired. My father, (82nd airborne) had a buddy that worked in ordinance that got it for him while he was stationed in England after the war. I wanted to shoot it so badly that I bought one just like it at a gun show just so I could shoot one. Hell it ain’t no slouch. We had a couple 03a3 sniper rifles in my unit in Vietnam. They were very accurate, but I think that 303 enfield would hold its own.
Sexy equipment, for sure
Your attitude towards machining practices makes me thing you and my professor would get along great. He is all about getting us to consider the easier way to get the same results.
Preparation, measurement....preparation, measurement.....90% of the work! Thank you for the excellent tutorial!
I shot this weapon type as a cadet from the age of 14, hell of a weapon and accurate enough.
Bubba, stand down. This is how it's done, and what it's done on.
Revolver barrels are measured by the bbl length, NOT including the chamber. Rifle bbls are measured from the bare muzzle (no thread caps, threaded or pinned flash hiders etc) to the bolt face. Semi auto, lever, pump, toggle, break open, falling block, turn breach, WHATEVER. Always remember to add an extra 1/2 inch for recrowns, rethreads & the ATF😁😁
If there ever was a No. 4 Mk1 to sporterize, this was probably it.
Slick on the fly, sort of, engineering. Creating a nice creation of someone's perceived dream. Thank you. Insightful
Brilliant. Where art meets skill & free thinking takes over. Great stuff, keep on keeping on. :-)
I made the mistake of buying a sporterized no.4 mk I with the idea that I'd refurb it. I should have paid better attention to the pictures. The thing is a mess, barrel was cut back to remove the lugs, the front wood was cut and sanded, and the barrel was DRILLED AND TAPPED for a buckhorn sight. But worst of all the charger bridge and rear sight mounts were MILLED OFF THE RECEIVER! Between the barrel possibly being compromised by the screw holes and the structural integrity of the receiver being compromised, I haven't shot it and have no clue what to do with the poor thing. Needless to say the finish is all shot to hell. But my absolute favorite part of this entire dumpster fire is that the extractor spring was missing and was replaced by the tip of a ziptie.
Sounds like you have the basics for a nice truck gun. Got a lathe? The missing extractor spring is a couple bucks from Numrich...
"if your student appears to have a clue, let him roll"
I got shivers when I heard that
We hunt with a farmer in Wyoming who has what used to be a stainless Ruger Model 77 skeleton (or paddle or whatever) stock rifle in the rarer (if not rarest) .223 Remington chambering. He spray painted it camouflage and it rides on the front of his 4 wheeler. It's beat. It looks like he's used it for a pry bar a couple times and probably has, but it shoots just fine. He's perfectly happy with it and if you told him that it was a rare rifle that should be hiding in his safe, he'd look at you like you were an idiot. It's meant to be used and it serves his needs. Worry about your own rifles and stop trying to tell other people what they should do with theirs.
new to this channel. gotta say i like the snarky attitude (with taste) combined with the overwhelming knowledge. thanks ole kid. ill be back
I have a genuine matching jungle carbine and it’s a great little gun, it shoots amazing
Me too. Handed down from Grandpa. It's got a few dents, dings, and scratches. But the inside is immaculate. Dad said last it was shot was the mid eighties with only 3 rounds because that's all they had.
Recoil? Indeed.
Blast? Oh yes.
I had one of those 18" barrels and I tell ya, with military ammo at night when you touch it of, Everybody in the county is goiung to see you and hear you, but it was accurate. It also started grass fires if you were in the pron position. Could also light your cig. if it didn't blind ya and blow the cig apart.
Mark that's a brilliant job Sir! I think I would have turned up a .304 pin with a larger end then put a centre into it and fitted it until it was snug in the barrel bore then pulled the tail stock up with a revolving centre and set the steady rest to fit. If it didn't then turn a 1/2" wide or whatever suits the steady rest band concentric with the bore. Then I would have screw cut the thread, and ensured it was concentric. Then the woodwork I'd have done the same as you propose.
Stunning stuff as always! Eagerly awaiting the next installment!
Can’t get enough of your videos. Like a fly on the wall.
I'm currently doing a No4Mk1 Sporter (was pre sporterised by Parker Hale) in 303/375, should be a hoot :D
It looks so sexy as a short carbine with the flash hider. These things should be called Novak's Armoured Corps .303, or NAC-303 for short.
How about "Flashwagon..."?
@@marknovak8255 Ooh, I like it. A flashwagon for flash gits.
This looks so much like the kind of weapon the Boer farmers carried during the Boer Wars! Of course, it's a .303!
(psst,,,,,saw all the way around so that the last part to be cut is in the middle,,,,). LOVING the videos!!
So when I commissioned you to do very much this same modification to my M1917. I didn't realize really how much engineering, craftsmanship and effort it would entail. I hope that the experience with the SMLE makes the next "Truck Gun" production easier, and hopefully mine is the next one. There must have been a bunch of us after Othias's trench carbine video, but how many followed through?
I did most of the engineering on that trench carbine also
I love the idea of a 1917 carbine. Wondering also if it is possible to carbine a Remington 81 (acknowledging springs would have to be balanced or changed), or does that business in the middle of the barrel prevent that?
@@kenibnanak5554 I would suggest you contact Mark via email. I'll tell you upfront. These kind of projects are not cheap or fast. I am willing to wait and pay for quality work. I can tell you that shortening a long recoil system rifle like the Model 81 is a whole lot more effort than doing it to a bolt rifle.
Ken: It can be done, I've seen short SBR 8s and 81s down to even 10 inch barrels. They look sweet, especially with the FBI extended mags.
Go check out the forum on "The Great Model 8 and 81" Its a website devoted to Browning's springpole rifles.
A couple people have done what you are looking for. There is info and even pics concerning that conversion on the website.
Not too many people into Model 8s and 81s anymore, I absolutely love my 35Rem and 300Sav 81s.
I was thinking what your assistant said when you hesitated with the chop saw. One cut is always more accurate than two. Glad to hear that you have someone in the shop now with a bit more wood working experience. That is not to disparage your skill Mark, just that it will open new techniques and options for future work.
He is a cabinet maker. I am a gunsmith. We get along well
Mark, Man-o-man, love what you are doing! I'm really looking forward to the second (and third?) half of this project. Please if you can, as you are doing the wood work on this stock, be sure to let us know about the waxes and oils you will be using on the wood to make it all look right. Thanks again for your expertise in the matter of these weapons. Later, Guy!
I wish I could spend a few years learning more from you !!!!
You are truly gifted with gunsmithing thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us ..
"Minute of football pitch"- Mark 2020
I feel like this is an especially expensive way to make a bad truck gun. Solid work as always by Mark, though.
Why would this be a bad truck gun?
@@rogerj412 because its impractical to enter a formula one race with a model t
@@derekbrogan4241 You know there is this concept called "fun". People tend to spend a lot of money on it despite the face that it isn't a very productive thing.
A truck gun is supposed to rattle around the back of your truck on the long chance you need to handle a varmint or maybe take dinner if it shows up or much longer chance deal with a two legged varmint that is trespassing. Only the last situation needs the latest and greatest and even then ten rounds of 303 from a good LE isn’t a Model T IMHO.
derek Brogan it’s impractical to enter a rock crawl with a F1
My buddy who's a machinist did the same for a sporter no4 I had with a bulged barrel, though we didn't have a flash hider. He basically he chopped off and bored out the old muzzle and replaced did. It's a fire breather but atleast I have bayonet lugs, though wish I had the stock!
I don't think those threads are concentric to bore, 4 jaw chuck isn't ideal for barrel work without a jig. Indicate off a pin that fits in the bore, once you get the end of the pin closest to the barrel dialed in without any run-out, move the indicator to the far side of the pin. Dial it in, rinse and repeat until pin is steady across the entire diameter. This of course is only important if you plan to use a suppressor or are crowning a "precision" rifle
40:32 The sign of a true gunsmith, the ability to grow a third arm and hand as needed.
Cool project, weird customer.
The pistol rifle you were probably thinking of around 4:00 was probably an OBREZ that is a sawed off version of a russian Mosin Nagant.
i bet ole Jeff Cooper would even approve of that mod....i enjoyed that !
The shortened down pistol from a rifle is called an obrez usually done with a mosin and they are absolutely insane its literally a fire breathing hand cannon
I love watching this guy. Most entertaining and educational on UA-cam. If you ever do a spinoff on anything from cooking to dog barbering, I'll subscribe.
