One of my Enfields,,, (photo test)

The real No6 MkI has the rear sight farther back and a one piece hand guard but that is a neat concept rifle none the less. I guess the No6 also used a unique flash hider that allowed use of a P07 as well. They must have planned on using different crossguards on their 07's though? Skennerton didn't say that I could find. That short sight radius bugger with its shootability at all?

Neat concept and use of a bubba.

No problem at all, after all, the sights are further apart than those on a pistol;)

With sight guards on both front and rear this will be my gun of choice for any trips into rough country on ATV, snowmobile, or boat. It also will live in my camper during summer months. The wife and I fish at remote lakes and she likes picking blue berries.
 
That's excellent! I have a shortened No. 1 Mk. III I was hoping to do something similar with. Can you walk us through your process for this?

How did you attach the flash hider? Did you have to locate forends and handguards? Did you have to trim them to fit?

I have been collecting parts for years. The front site is from an Enfield but I'm not sure which model. It is held in place with a set screw as is the flash cone which I turned out myself. The barrel looks shorter than it really is due to the length of the forestock.

When you upload a photo to another site, right-click on the pic / select "properties" / and copy&paste the URL (should have ".jpg" or similar at the end).

Then paste it into the pictuer link button in the message body...

I'd love to have a step-by-step breakdown of how you did this. I'm not particularly skilled as a gunsmith having not had much experience, so any help would be appreciated.

Some Enfields have lugs on the barrel and others have a key to hold the front sight in place. Either one of these sights can be fitted with a set screw. Once you have chosen your sight the barrel needs to be turned to the correct diameter. If you don't have a lathe you'll have to find a machine shop willing to do the work (not all are willing to work on firearms). I found my front sight on Ebay, turned the barrel to fit, and then made the flash cone.

Unfortunately without the tools you can't do it yourself unless you are willing to pay machine shop rates:( (unless you live near someone like me,,, have my own shop, no overhead, love working on guns, will work cheap for cash or barter ;):D )

People for whom "like", "um", "right" "yeh" and "OK" are the most used words in their vocabulary are easily confused by standard English.:(

Sad really, and if you're one of these people, why draw attention to yourself? :p
