Hey I’ve done the same thing as you and for my no 4 I can’t get the lower stock off it’s stuck near the receiver at the very back and I noticed that my rear stock was a little loose could that have anything to do with it
Is this stripdown sufficient to clean the rifle when using corrosive ammo, or should the trigger set and bolt be disassembled as well? Great video, by the way.
I would try to avoid using corrosive ammunition if at all possible! For the amount of time it takes it wouldn't hurt to go more in depth, but at a minimum just apply some oil onto the harder to reach parts to protect them. Thanks for watching!
hello mate! lovely video but small question see mine is pinned at 2:22 you can see near the wrist plate above the trigger there's a little pin mine is a no.4 mk1/2 and the bottom stock won't budge and it seems connected to that lil pin have you any idea how to remove the lil bastard?
It’s a No4 Mk1. The SMLE was a No1 Mk3, otherwise a Mk3 SMLE The 1931 version of the No4 was a No 1 Mk6 The long sightbase transitional SMLE was a No 1 Mk5. The .22 SMLE was a No 2 Mk4. Is a pattern beginning to emerge? Prior to WW1, there was a letter designation like MLM for Magazine Lee Metford and a Mk for major changes and a * for minor ones. With the SMLE, the basic rifle received a number, significant variations received a Mk and minor ones a *. Hence No1 Mk1*** or Mk 1 Three star SMLE. One more thing. Ever since the percussion muzzle loading Enfields, convention seems to have ordained that all screw heads face the same way as the sidenails (lock screws) ie down the left side of the rifle. This may seem perverse in relation to the bolt but it is certainly true of the fixed orientation of the trigger guard screw. Nothing to stop you fitting bands as you please of course.
There may well be times when a full stock removal may be necessary, but these rifles were stocked up very carefully on initial build to achieve the required accuracy standard. Subsequent unnecessary removal of the wood may well have a very negative effect on that accuracy and as such, should only be carried out by someone who really knows what they are doing.
Actually the first thing you do is make sure the firearm is unloaded.😐 Silly to you maybe but you may save a life by mentioning it or cause a death by not mentioning it.😑
Very valid comment, I do not disagree! I would however expect that should go without saying! ANYONE touching a firearm should have training beforehand.
Just the video I need to get the wood furniture off my Mk1. Good stuff.
Thank you!
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thank you!
Good video, on the barrel bands the screw heads should be on the left side.
Thanks for the video much appreciated 👍
lovely looking rifle
Thank you!

That's slow
I'm sure I could do it with a sledgehammer in 30 seconds.. It's meant to be more as a guide :-)
