Bloke takes his Lee-Enfield No.4 apart (a rare event, since unless you've got to dry a sopping wet rifle, no good can come of it) to show how the forend is attached to the metal. It's not obvious, and it's rather clever.
Also there's a few verbal digressions railing against the common unthinking myths, and the relative positions of SMLE's, No.4's and P14's in British shooting competitions back in the .303 days.

My long branch Mk1* has been around the world several times and looks like someone has used it to knock nails in but at 73 it still shoots better than I can. I took the forend off once as I had a better as new fore end but the newer wood ruined the grouping, I went back to the battered old wood and it was like the rifle was saying "Ah thats better"

Good video. I had a No4 that shot good when I bought it, but over the years the fore stock warped to where there was no muzzle pressure. I got a take off stock, put it on and was lucky enough that I didn't need to play around with the bedding. It tightened right up no problem.

Thank you so much for the informative review. So basically the length of the wooden stock doubles to some degree as a bull barrel improving the harmonics. This concept is tricky as free floating is so popular. Sporterizing one of these for deer hunting could be a challenge as one may be inclined to shorten the forend. Great round , wonderful on deer and messerschmitts.

I've always found the two piece stock system to be very good. It allows the weapon to be modular at the armorer level for length of pull, it's easier to make and replace, and it's easier to make properly with the grains going in the right direction. I suspect more nations would have adopted it if lumber was more of a concern for them

I just picked up a No. 4 mk 1, and the barrel is completely fixed at the front. I can't push it up, down, or in any direction. It's fixed as if the rifle were a K31 or a M39. I haven't taken the stock off, but looking at it, I see a piece of flat metal in between the stock and the hand guard at the first barrel band, or middle barrel band. Also, I see burlap type of material in between the stock and handguard in two places between the start of the hand guard and the first barrel band. The rifle came with an adjustable peep sight, where there is a little built in disc that you can turn to adjust the aperture size, and the whole thing is adjustable for windage too. The rifle itself was made in 1942 and the serial number is 28794A, with very little marks on the metal and wood. We'll see how it shoots. This is the first time I've purchased a No. 4 with a barrel that is completely fixed. But you are right, the rear of the main stock doesn't touch the receiver band, there's a ever-so slight gap that I can look through. Have you ever come across such a contraption?

On the butt stock bolt, was that the leather washer that came out with it? Is that washer there to snug the bolt and keep the butt stock from wobbling? I have 2 enfield and the butt stocks are loose. Thanks.

The leather washer is to stop the oil bottle rattling against the bolt. On late SMLE's and No.4 onwards, there's a spring washer under the bolt head and you can just hoick out the leather washer and tighten. On most SMLE's and anything earlier, you must take the forend off before doing anything with the butt bolt or you will split the forend!

Sounds about like the US Property Savage #4 my dad got years back, can't hit the broadside of a barn with it. We chalked it up to the free floated barrel having some sort of issue with the wobbly forend, looks like that is the problem. On the other hand we later got a Longbranch that is far and away a better shooter. We might have to dig the Savage out some time and give it another look.

Bloke, what are your thoughts on the Ishapore 2a1? I picked one up this weekend and am not sure if I want to refurbish it or leave it as is. The stock is fairly dark and a little banged up but there's not a speck of rust to be found and the bore is absolutely pristine.
@simonferrer
@simonferrer 6 жыл бұрын
I have a 2a1 (unfortunately sporterized to look like a fake No. 5 carbine, but I did get it cheap as a result) and love it. The stock on the 2a1 is dark on purpose; the Indians deliberately made the finish heavy and put that gloopy black paint on the metal to protect the rifle from humidity. If the heel of your stock looks swollen or has a replacement piece, that's common, too; oil would drip down while the rifle was racked and swell that one spot.

Enjoy your videos. I am a bit of a noob to the Lee Enfield. I have always wanted one. I now have a 1953 No.4 Mk 2 in near mint condition. Bore looks like it was never fired. Has wear at barrel (bayonet practice?), and maybe one or two tiny character dings on the stock. Somewhere I read that a large percentage of these late production rifles were never issued. Don’t know if that is true. Anyway, my question is about the magazine release and bolt release tabs. They are stiff to the point of hurting to operate, and even then they are very hard to get the bolt to move past it or to remove the magazine. Is this a sign mine was hardly used and just needs to be broken in at the range? Thanks for any advice.

@BlokeontheRange
@BlokeontheRange 4 жыл бұрын
If it's not quite centered, you might be able to fix it by steaming the stock, or by removing material where it's bearing laterally. The other solution is centre bedding, although that's not legit for pre-1945 service rifle (it's a post-war thing done at Indian arsenals during refurbs).

Are there any markings or features to identify a wartime free float? I have a BSA 1944 that is in unissued condition that still was covered in cosmoline and I don't think was ever fired. It doesn't have any up pressure and very slightly bears on the left side, it shoots quite well although with about a 3.5 inch group at 100 yards with factory ammo, I have considered center bedding it but I very much hate to modify it, especially if it isn't warped and was just a wartime free float
@BlokeontheRange
@BlokeontheRange Жыл бұрын
It's probably a wartime freefloat indeed that's warped over time. If it's consistently 3.5" I probably wouldn't touch that tbh since it already shoots within spec. A removable shim of wood or cork sheet at the centre bedding position would be worth trying, cos you can always take it out if it doesn't help.

Very educational! I have been thinking about building a classic Target rifle. Enfield L39A1 and I also like the swedish Mauser CG63 . Do those rifles have bedding at the end of the stock for a mid pressure or are they full float? Now after watching your video I may consider the full stock Enfield. I know they probably wouldn't be in the same class but does the full stock shot with the L39A1 with it's heavier Barrel? I would probably do a 308 conversion. for me it wouldn't be for competition it would be more for Target fun and hunting and the beauty of a classic. If I did a L39A1 it would be a clone I could get the CG63 original I see them in America for reasonable prices all the time. Thank you

I recently got a No. 4 Mk 1/2 from the Ethiopian guns that recently came into the US. It was rearsenaled in the late 1950s so the bore is in beautiful shape but I'm worried the bedding may be buggered up, as the barrel centers to the same location fine but does not exert pressure downward on the sock the way you described. Is it possible that during the rearsenaling it was center bedded due to warped wood? And does anyone know if there is a book out there that describes the mechanics of the No 4. and its bedding so I could better understand my new to me rifle?

He told him "at the top of a gravel mound with an Enfield when I was 11" : ) as a dad it is nice to know you got even one thing right!

It's funny that people even raise this. Many modern precision rifles have separate butt-stocks, to absolutely no detriment.

Can a number 2 stock fit on a no 1?

A No.2 is just a No.1 in .22lr so is identical other than barrel, bolt head and striker.

Has that rifle got woodworm? Great video dispelling a lot of these myths. Send me your postal address and we'll post you some turnscrews, or at least a better hexbit driver! :)

From what I've read the butt was more expensive than the forend to produce, the forend was more labor intensive to fit but overall cheaper

I very, very much doubt that. The forend is made from a much larger (and hence more expensive) piece of wood and has soooo many more cuts on it, particularly criticle ones. Got a source?

I don't think that they have pounds, shilling and pence anymore. Mushies are still available tho, just don't eat the amanita muscaria, they are slightly more demanding.

These guys tho are a couple of hipsters whose sum of experience hovers between cappuccino and a straight black. I could be unusually wrong because no one else had ever given me a heads up about the mythical and wonderful k31, better than sex! (With a VW)

They both have engineering backgrounds and approach guns from the gun nerd perspective. Everything I've seen so far from their channel is logical and based on either book fact or reasonably well set up experimental models.

This was about how the bedding works. Not how to set it up yourself.
