The Lee–Enfield is a bolt-action, magazine-fed, repeating rifle that served as the main firearm used by the military forces of the British Empire and Commonwealth during the first half of the 20th century. It was the British Army's standard rifle from its official adoption in 1895 until 1957. The WWI versions are often referred to as the "SMLE", which is short for the common "Short, Magazine Lee–Enfield" variant.
A redesign of the Lee–Metford (adopted by the British Army in 1888), the Lee–Enfield superseded the earlier Martini–Henry, Martini–Enfield, and Lee–Metford rifles. It featured a ten-round box magazine which was loaded with the .303 British cartridge manually from the top, either one round at a time or by means of five-round chargers. The Lee–Enfield was the standard issue weapon to rifle companies of the British Army and other Commonwealth nations in both the First and Second World Wars (these Commonwealth nations included Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India and South Africa, among others). Although officially replaced in the UK with the L1A1 SLR in 1957, it remained in widespread British service until the early/mid-1960s and the 7.62 mm L42A1 sniper variant remained in service until the 1990s. As a standard-issue infantry rifle, it is still found in service in the armed forces of some Commonwealth nations, notably with the Bangladesh Police, which makes it the second longest-serving military bolt-action rifle still in official service, after the Mosin–Nagant. The Canadian Rangers unit still use Enfield rifles, with plans to replace the weapons sometime in 2017–2018 with the new Sako-designed Colt Canada C19. Total production of all Lee–Enfields is estimated at over 17 million rifles.The Lee–Enfield takes its name from the designer of the rifle's bolt system—James Paris Lee—and the factory in which it was designed—the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield.
I've got one of those Century Arms AK 74 rights that got a bad barrel from factory. Anyone know of a good gunsmith or armorer that works on these?
I live in the central Oregon coast area, but travel between the coast and Hillsboro often. Any recommendations welcome.
Thank you.
As stated, I have a Brand New Factory Glock G19 13.5x1LH Threaded BBL, 9mm. Never seen a round. Has the lovely plastic Glock thread protector. Purchased from a member here with the intention of doing a Rowland Special build that never took off. Paid $250 for it. $100 shipped.
I just received my new threaded barrel for my P-01. The goal is to make the pistol a suppressor host.
Some fitment is necessary. CZ recommends you take the pistol & barrel to a qualified gunsmith.
After comparing the original barrel to the new barrel, the process of fitting the new one looks...
