.22 Training Rifles

These are my two Lee Enfield No.2 MkIV* training rifles.

The top one is Enfield 1914.

This rifle used to have one of these sights but it is now absent and I'm searching for a replacement.

The bottom one is BSA 1915.

This rifle has the Cooey rear sight.

And also has Canadian ownership stamps.

Two variations of conversion, the Enfield has a Parkerifled barrel and the BSA does not.

$350 for an Erma... I'll have to keep an eye out for one... the Enfields are nice too. I like the No 9 2 repeater the best, but not many around and very pricey.
 
My brother's. Those were scans i made about 8 years ago, before I have had a digital camera. I take some shots of it when I can over the next couple of weeks. He not selling it for some reason. ;)

As I said before, quite rare. Also, if the lips of the magazines get bent a little, then you're in jam city.

A lot of the times when you see them come up for sale they are missing the rear sight because it has been removed for a scope or someone has over-tightened it and stripped the threads. New sights aren't easy to come by either.

Skirson - how do you like the Winchester 1903? I looked at one on the weekend, didn't feel to bad shouldering...

Well, they do have a particularly interesting history; however, be aware that they are commonly chambered for .22 Auto, not .22LR. The former is something you will only be able to buy at a gunshow. It is not interchangable with .22LR - it is bigger. Winchester did this because .22LR, at the time, came in blackpowder and smokeless and they knew that BP would gum up the insides so they made their own smokeless version.

Mine is a Parker-Hale conversion to .22LR which means cheap ammo! I like the way it shoots and sounds. It is a very accurate little rifle considering the very basic sights. The wrist on mine is drilled for a tang sight but I have yet to find one. Apparently it takes the W8 style which was made specifically for the 1903.

Above: a comparison of the .22 Winchester Rimfire calibre rimfire cartridge (left) with the .22 Long Rifle cartridge (centre), and the Winchester Auto (right) as used in the 1903 rifle.

Copied and pasted... the sizes are way off but you can see the difference.

Off topic...but while you guys are on a close topic I will ask now:
I am having a hard time getting my ES350b Mauser bolt back in firing condition! During cleaning I mis-assembled the bolt, now although the action will #### the striker, every time I pull the trigger, it will not fire the round, although the firing pin moves forward, and on removal of the round, no firing pin mark, what so-ever.

Help!
