I like how you can see the bullet fly

I could sense the anger when the stripper clip didn’t work.

When the stripper clip jams the gun: My dissapointment is immeasuarable and my day is ruined.

I have always regretted selling the one I had. They're a wicked accurate rifle

Just some friendly advice in case you didn’t know. I have a No1 and a No4. If you do use Stripper clips, make sure that the rims overlap each other starting from the first one. So always load it going from one side to the other, instead of just sticking one in the middle and adding one on each side. That will cause rim lock. So just make sure the rims overlap.

NOBODY does high quality shooting content like you…! Simple yet Perfect ! Keep ‘em comin’ 😃👍

I happen to have purchased your rifles younger brother, a 1942 Lithgow Arsenal SMLE when I was 18. My father and I were at a gun store and saw this absolutely beaten to heck rifle in the used gun rack. Being a collector and competition shooter, he looked it over. Turns out it still had the rack markings from a military school on it barely legible. He checked the bore and it was pristine, didn't look like it had been fired since proofing it in 1942. The action was smooth and crisp also with a fantastic trigger. Well I took it home and it would do about a 2.5 inch group at 100 hards, we being the hobby gunsmith we are, dad looked up how the British competition shooters would accurize them and found that they would hollow out the stock around the barrel and pack cork inside, we took a slightly different approach and dad went to town on it with a dremel tool to the point where I was outright scared and we then proceeded to put enough acraglas in it to bed about 10 actions, basically made it a fiberglass stock with a VERY thin wood veneer on it locking the action into the wood like bench rest shooters do and surprisingly the trigger went from being a 2 stage trigger with about a 6 lb break, to a glass break crisp 3 lb single stage. We went to our local wally world and picked up 10 boxes of hunting ammo and I tried it out and with my then 19 year old eyes put 10 rounds into a ragged hole that measured 1.15 inches at 100 yards, we then took it up to a NRA high power match and I proceeded to place 12th out of 87 competitors. We had one of the top High power shooters in the country come up and watch us during the slow fire portion, he asked if we reused the boxes the ammon originally came in thinking we had handloaded all our shells, when we told him we were using off the shelf hunting ammo bc wally world has a special, he snickered, that was until by shear luck, I put the next 2 rounds in the bulls during the 600 yards slow fire. Yeah, we were the talk of the match after that, still puts a smile on my face thinking about it to this day.

Can we all just take the time to appreciate the velvety smoothness of adjusting that sight? The Brits made some damn fine rifles back then

So sharp and clean. I love it.

One of the best battle rifles ever made in my opinion.

Love the way the magazine locks in, straight upwards and then rocked back into position

There is a special place in my heart for WW2 bolt-action rifles, especially for the Lee Enfield and Kar98k.

That’s what I’m talking about!! I love old battle rifles. I inherited one from my Dad. He collected old battle rifles.

Idk why, but I love old bolt action rifles, they look soo cool. I am really not a fan of firearms, but these look soo appealing, more like a sort of cool trophy than a weapon meant to kill

I found incredible how videos of killing tools can be relaxing

I have a mkI, mkIV and two mkV’s plus a P14 here in the states. Love the .303, it’s a great round.

Excellent video loved every second of it

thanks for the video, very relaxing to watch, how far were you making those shots out to?

I didn’t know the Lee Enfields magazine could be removed like that, also I Really like how I can see the Bullet Flying

I don't know why I watch these videos. But I really feel it!! Thanks

I like your vids. Always entertaining👍

Nice video

My .303 was made in Australia also but it was built in 1917, No.1 Mk.III. It's in good shape for a 106 year old rifle . I get good hit's at 200 yards +. I learn how to use the stripper clips. Works well for me. Good video.

Gorgeous piece of kit, nice shooting as well. Cheers from Australia 👍

Excellent Misha Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🤝😉👍

That grouping 👀💯🔥

Could you include a view of aiming down the sights next time too?

Where’s the phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?

不思議と安らぐASMR動画。 銃に触れた事がない日本人だけど、慣れた銃の扱い方が見てて満足感ある。 登録しました✨

I like how you included that whole first part

Nice rifle. Great recording downrange that shows the shockwave of the bullet.

that thing is one of the cleanest SMLE's ive ever seen. Both my #1 and #4's are fairly "well loved" but they shoot great!

Keep the longer videos coming

Nice gun looks like one of the JJ guns out of NY does it have any import marks?

From South Africa to Flanders Field, its appearance was always remarkable.

Went to the Lithgow arms museum last month.. it was Incredible to say the least!

I used to buy 100 rounds of 303 at bisley camp for £20 uk. Strate out of a WW2 ammo box still in the bandolier made 1941 or 1942 depending on the day of purchase. Loved firing my No4.

Much love from Australia man

Nicely restored !

真是一把優美的步槍，彈著點集中，顯得它槍身狀況極佳

That looks like one of the refurbished SMLEs that John Jovino (JJCO) imported in the 90s. They imported military refurbished rifles, and then ones like these with brand new coachwood stocks that look almost orange. Not all of those coachwood stocks had the proper copper recoil plates installed in the forend like the factory Lithgow rifles did, and shooting the rifle without them will cause the soft coachwood to crack and split, ruining the stock. I would recommend verifying they are there before that beautiful rifle ends up damaged. Its not a terribly difficult fix.

Now imagine going through that messy reload in the middle of combat with 100 angry Japanese soldiers shooting at you.

Good video,. Nice restoration on the rifle, wish it were mine .

The puff of dust under the target suggests that the bullet ricochets off the plate and into the ground.

Its cool how you can see the bullet shockwave.

A very nicely filmed video

I remember a time in the gun industry when no one wanted these rifles and they were $20 surplus rifles at my distributor in 1995. They are a fortune now

I loved my 303 …supremely accurate with sniper barrel.

This is the gun the Aussies used against the emus in the great emu wars of Australia. Can't be reloading for so long mate emus can fuck you up by that time.

The stripper clip loading method you used is the best way to get rim lock

You shoot the nicest firearms.

I love the short bolt throw

1:48 that reload is cursed

That slow-mo 🥵🔥

Gotta love the speed loader device. I have used it for the m16 in the military. Thats some nice bolt action 😏👍

This dude gonna change the magazine in the middle of war instead reloading with clips

Lee-Enfield is my favorite bolt action rifle.

The classic instrument of "Rule 303" from Australian military law... (paraphrasing Breaker Morant)

that stock looks thirsty for some BLO though

Bro got mad from caches

My favorite is still the No.4 Mk.1 but damn if this isn't a beaut

My dad carried this rifle in the 60s when he was guarding a conflicted territory for 6 months, glad no firefight happened and he ended up hunting deers 😂, i remember he said he was so thirsty so he shot a group of 🥥 and they just kinda exploded and scattered everywhere 😂.. Powerful rifle!

Such a straight shooting rifle.

Not a gun-enthusiast myself but that gun looks beautiful. Must be quite heavy with all that wood no ?

The old rimmed .303 was first loaded with compressed black powder in 1889.I noticed you had a mix of Winchester Power Point and Remington Core-Lokt ammo;nice.

Don’t lift the cartridge with your index finger when stripper loading. It causes the rims to jam. Just push down hard with your thumb at the base. I have a 1916 Lithgow SMLE that I use for competitive shooting and I’ve never had an issue loading from a stripper. That’s a beautiful example, my guess is it would be one of the units that was stored at holdsworthy barracks then sold off by their government when they replaced them with the SLR.

The OG Lee Enfield

I have an 2 SMLE rifles from 1915. One is sadly a sporter that i used as my brush gun. They are amazing rifles

Top Nao cortou o vídeo Colocou as munições de novo Parabéns

How many times did you put those cartridges in the clip.

I have used multiple times lee enfield chargers and they tend to work best for me if I load them like I load my mosin chargers. Traditional way of loading tends to be harder to feed to the magazine.

Learnt to shoot weapons on the Lee Enfield. 303 at the age of 10 Still remember an awesome accurate rifle. Ps it did have a kick tho 😅

How many classic guns you have?

If you've ever played the old Xbox game Fable , the guards in that game would shout with a British accent "STOP! THATS ILLEGAL!" whenever you committed a crime in front of them. That's what I imagine whenever I see someone load directly into the magazine of a Lee-Enfield, and then load it in lol. The only thing more illegal would have been to reload the rifle by ejecting the magazine and putting in a fully loaded one 😂

Average person: "wow great condition" Me an intellectual: "so you missed the target 6 times?"

I like the voice of the bullets

Can you make videos on newer guns?

That looked frustrating to load.

My Grandpa showed up in Australia in 1941 via the US Holbrook one week after Pear Harbor was attacked !

Beautiful rifle...still used in Australia by the military today sometimes for ceremonial purposes... Australian defence force still has a few thousand of these as well as the L1A1 SLR in surplus because you know...why not. And the Lithgow factory still produces firearms to this day (bolt action modernistic rifles for civilian) as well as the new Atrax bullpup rifle for the military.

I didn't know it had a detachable magazine.

Loading a. 303 clip can be a video itself. How's the ammo availability for .303

Misha guns is slow, relaxing and has time to process what is going on but other channels are too fast

Just so you know, its best to learn to load using the clip, that has been loaded properly. Rather than hand load the magazine, you still run the risk of putting a rim behind the round below.

The last shot was epic

2:22 wow, you can see bullets trail

i really want to see a video on the aussie owen submachine gun

Это же ружье из The Long Dark.

We aussies like to make a few changes to our British counterparts.

Interesting how much trouble youre having with those striper clips, i know they can be finiky but this is the second vid youve had some trouble with yours

I am no gun expert,Why are bullets not directly on top of each other but at a small angle, almost next to each other?

Is the rifle in original condition, or has it been restored? It's fabulous!

Overlaping the rimmed bullets to prevent rim lock experienced shooter

Where is the long dark sound when shooting it?

WOW!!! That's a beautiful rifle!!!😍😍😍😍

Yeah, you need to overlap the rims by loading from one side to avoid rim lock, as Davis notes. You also shouldn't be running soft points. The load ramp is steep and designed for FMJ's only. Eventually you'll mung up the breech with lead.

Super.

I love my Lithgow SMLE. It’s a 1940

My SMLE is an India produced variant from the Ishapore armory and was purpose built for the then new 7.62x51 Nato cartridge.
