I was wonder if anyone knew of any sites or had pics of how to easily disassemble/reassemble my no4 Lee Enfield.
Mine has some visible rust and debris inside and would like to give it a overhaul before sending them down range.
If you live in the Niagara Region a hands on lesson would be great!
Thanks!
Perhaps download a complete set of manuals for the Lee Enfield, which includes operating and armourer's maintenance instructions.
The manuals may be found in the
Technical Articles for Milsurp Collectors and Re-loaders (click here)http://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=25
2002 No.4 (All Marks) .303 Rifle Manuals (click here)http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=3314
Complete Set includes:
- 2002 No.4 (All Marks) .303 Rifle Data Summary
- 2002 No.4 (All Marks) .303 Rifle Parts Identification List
- 2002 No.4 (All Marks) .303 Rifle Operating Instructions
- 2002 No.4 (All Marks) .303 Rifle Equipment Description

1991 No.4 (All Marks) .303 Rifle Manuals (click here)http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=3322
Complete Set includes:
- 1991 No.4 (All Marks) .303 Rifle Operating Instructions
- 1991 No.4 (All Marks) .303 Rifle Maintenance Instructions
Note: The difference between the 1991 set of No.4 Manuals and 2002 No.4 (All Marks) .303 Rifle Manuals, is that the 1991 manual contains armourer's information on how to properly "bed" the No.4 rifle, whereas the newer 2002 manual does not.
Also, there's an excellent video series by "JollyGreenSlugg" in

For more thorough research questions if you start to get really serious about collecting Enfields, you can now use a newly created
VIP Interviews (click here)http://www.milsurps.com/vbinterviews.php area of the Milsurp Knowledge Library, which has officially opened.
Special guests currently being interviewed there include
Peter Laidler, handling questions about No.4 Mk1 Lee Enfield sniper rifles, No.32 scopes and the Bren LMG (Bren Light Machine Gun), as well as
Ian Skennerton handling general questions about the Lee Enfield rifle.
Hope this helps...
