I have a feeling that I'm gonna' need a lot help from you guys with this one. I got it for a good price (I think) but it won't be here for a few weeks. Any info/advice/parts sources glady appreciated. It's a No7 Mk1 with mismatched bolt. I think the biggest problem will be the mag.






Thanks Dave

Doesn't matter that the bolt is mismatched as long as it's complete.
Aside from the ejector ( which may be a big problem) All the rest of the bits are the same as a No4.

They REALLY GUTTED that reciever.;)

Oh by the way, why would there be a problem with the mag? You just use an empty no4 magazine.
Its the British No7 that has the 5 round mag, the Canadian version is a single shot.

Thanks John I really don't know much about these 22 trainers. I don't know if this is a British No7 or a Canadian one. Do the pictures indicate which? From what I've found in a very brief seach the LB No 7 had the bayonet lugs ground off, Is this true? Yes Steppenwolf I will do a photo record and eventualy I'll try to post it here. Should be fun. Thanks Dave
 
Yours is a Brit one, takes special parts. I hope you have the proper Brit bolt for it, since the Canadian C no. 7 bolt is quite different.

I just traded for an Enfield No 7 .22 mag...not sure how hard they are to find. It's the one that has a little ramp that you lay the .22 shell on. I need it for a rifle I just bought.
 
Challenging restoration

British No7 rifle will be near impossible to restore. It takes a special mag that is unique to it. The bolt is quite different as well.

Some restorations are a challenge, for me, that is what makes the hobby fun.

Parts will be hard to find and probably expensive. You will spend more on parts than the assembled rifle will be worth.

However, you will get to know how one of these goes together in detail, have a really nice rifle and be rewarded with a feeling of great satisfaction when the project is complete. That's priceless.

I learnt to shoot with the Brit No.7, it can be a very acurate rifle.
