How to Zero the Lee Enfield Rifle VIDEO

great video,very informative gota love the old lee enfield they are awesome rifles .All of mine are no1MK111 version except for one no4 mk1,which i havent shot much.It has the 300 to 600 flip site which is original to the rifle dosent seem to be all that great a site i my opinion although i have never used it
 
Thanks guys. The video is longer than I had planned on and I repeat myself a few times. Either way I hope this saves someone a little frustration.
 
Great video Riflechair but I have one question, its a cut off sporter so is the barrel free floating or does it have up pressure at the fore end tip (center bedded) I gots to know.

I also have a good friend in Hollywood so if you send me a copy of the video I could enter your video in the short foreign film category for the Academy Awards. :slap:

Also if you edit out all the bugs landing on your face and possibly add a good looking nude Canadian girl in your video we could get better world wide circulation and viewing. We could also try and get Brad Pit as your stand in and add a music sound tract. The possibilities are endless...........................

Just kidding, I enjoyed your video. ;)
 
LOL - For a stand in I'd prefer John Cusack over Brad Pitt. John and I seem to have a similar view of things and seem to have similar behaviorism and personalities.

Actually you may be suprised to know that this stock comes from one of those "Commando" rifles we heard so much about. You know the rifles with the JC No5 front metal? I stuck this stock on this 43 Maltby because it's kind of cool. The draws lined up beautifully and there is about 5 - 8 lbs fore-tip pressure. I was quite surprised and impressed at the same time. No centre bedding so I'm curious to know what they did to the Commando stocks to keep the receiver profile high, maintain a nice 2-stage trigger and still get good contact in the draws. The rifle shoots OK but I see a few tweeking opportunities...
 
Great video! I love the look of that rifle - very L42 ish. Reminds me of the photo on the dust jacket of Skennerton, of the SAS sniper in Oman. Great information, stuff that needs to be preserved.

PS when you sell that one, let me know
 
To go along with Riflechair's excellent training video, if you're going to do a lot of Enfield collecting or shooting them at the range, one of the best books I've ever read (and trained with) on shooting the Enfield rifle is available in electronic format, professionally scanned (thanks to Ian Robertson), in the Knowledge Library section Technical Articles for Milsurp Collectors and Re-loaders (click here)http://www.milsurps.com/content.php...esearch-for-milsurp-collectors-and-re-loaders

"Shoot-to-Live" - 1945 (click here)

Presenting the Johnson Method of Musketry Coaching As Adopted By the Canadian Army, Ottawa, Chief of the General Staff.

This is an excellent Canadian Government issued training manual. If you are specifically a collector and shooter of Lee Enfield rifles, you'll find this to be an outstanding reference work and it contains a wealth of information on how to properly shoot the No.4 Mk1 Enfield, although much of the content is applicable to any bolt action rifle. I remember being issued this manual as part of our regimental rifle team, when I was a little younger back in the early 60's. ;)

Hope this helps... :)

Doug
