Muzzlebrake for Lee Enfield

[WaterlooRifle]

I'm looking for a muzzlebrake to put on my sporterized enfield (No 5 Mk1).

I'm not shooting it at a range and want to give it to the girlfriend to learn to shoot a larger calibre with (she's shot .223 before).

Does anyone know where I can find one? I remember seeing a screw on one before, has anyone had any experience with these? I'm able/willing to thread it and install it but would rather not.

Sweet Lord.

Correct me if I am wrong, but does the No 5 not come with a large cone flash-hider at the end of it? Or do you have a converted No 4 to No 5 without the end piece?

Numerich Arms. There is more to attaching a muzzle brake than meets the eye. Take it to a good gunsmith and let him install an after market unit. Corwin Arms sells them for $30 as do some private makers with CNC equipment. Shipping and taxes will be applied.

My daughter likes to shoot 303. I reload for her and use 125 gn bullet with 25 gn IMR3031. No recoil.

He said sporterized. For a No.5 that often includes the flash hider has been removed.

Let her try it as is first. The cost to do what you want is likely going to be cost prohibitive.

Or buy a Savage Axis with an actual rubber buttpad in a smaller calibre.

If felt recoil is an issue for her get one of those slip on recoil pads, limbsaver makes a universals one I think.

When they sporterize no 5s they cut it off. Too bad because I would have liked to have it on there lol

A threaded one for a AK47 or VZ858 would work, but gunsmith would have to cut the barrel threads to match.

If you don't reload, have a buddy who does make up a batch of ammo loaded with 123 gr bullets. No recoil.

Thanks for the tip. Is 25gn enough for decent accuracy? I'm assuming that it's less than the recommended load, correct me if I'm wrong.

Where do you usually get 125gn bullets? Any brand that you like best?
