Did you realise that this rifle holds ten rounds in the magazine, you should not have to keep using the stripper clips.

Range rule of only three rounds in the rifle at one time.

Your Lee Enfield looks a lot like mine. The only difference of course is that I still have the wood color finish. I was wondering if you knew the year of your's. Mine has 1943 stamped on it but just about every other Lee that I look up has the wood all the way to the end of the barrel. Mine is like yours, the wood only goes so far then the rest of the barrel is on it's own. I was wondering if you knew any more about the weapon and why some where made this way and others made a different way.

Mine is a 1952 No 4 Mk 2 (F). Yours could have been trimmed like I did to mine. I cut the forend and put a monte carlo style buttstock on mine. The old bayonet style stock wasnt all that good for speed shooting, so I just modded it a little. The barrel and receiver are still stock.

Sorry mate I did not know that, Didnt mean to be a pain in the butt. You handled that old banger really well.

@rylan76 Hey mate. We're not quite as bad as the UK. It's semiautos, handguns, and repeating shotguns that are basically illegal here. So we can still have our bolt, pump and lever rifles, but basically only single or double barrel shotguns, and pretty much no handguns. You can get a H license to have handguns, but it's hardly worth all the redtape you have to get through :(

But when the idiots in the cities finally vote in the Greens, and guns are completely banned, I'll be hunting them! lol

@MrHellyeah2010 I love my .303 too - live in South Africa. Question though - can you have these in Aus?? I thought that you guys were almost as bad as the UK in banning absolutely anything at all that can go "bang"...?

@MrHellyeah2010 I just talked to my friend, who reloads more then I could dream of doing. He said that as long as your rifling is in good shape you should be able to use the 7.62x39mm 124 gr FMJ tip. But he does not recommend using the loading data because it will throw the bullet beyond 3000 fps which can destroy your rifling. He says using 10 to 15 grs less than the reloading data says and if possible to crono the speed of the bullets. Anything from 2500 to 2700 fps is good.

@SamLFisher Oh yeah i had never thought of that. Have you ever tried the .311 bullets that'd be normally in a 7.62x39mm cartridge? I read on a forum a post by a bloke (i'm not sure if he was american, aussie, canadian or what), but he used those sometimes in his handloading. i think they were 125gr bullets, if memeory serves me correctly... i guess you might be able to take smallish-medium sort of game (if you hunt with it of course lol) without blowing it to pieces... at least in theory haha.
