If there is one thing i learned, it is that RTI guns are a roll of the dice.. I have rolled the dice many times with them, and have done many restorations from their pieces. I like the way you present your stuff. Solid sub from me, one gun channel to another.
I bought two of the warehouse clearance Enfields in the hopes of putting one good one together, and I was able to do just that. As a matter of fact, I did cobble the second one together with the remaining parts. I had to purchase about $50 bucks of parts including a 16 dollar bolt disassembly tool. The best one passed the muzzle bullet test, but the second one did not. I ran my bore sight in it and the rifling in the second gun is about gone. Can't wait to shoot the number one.
Very nice For scrubbing; I take an old cleaning rod and use a bore brush, put it on drill-then scrub the bore. Just keep it on low speed and it will save a lot of time.
Hey Dutch i watched both videos and in both i kept saying to my self that butt stock is fine and it will work. You got a good shooter and all the parts are there. THANKs for showing ! Also you did use that 12 inch screw driver one more time.
I actually ended up using that screwdriver to smash a hole through the cinderblock between my basement and circuit breaker to add a new electrical outlet lol. It earned its keep.
How did you do the paint where it already looks worn? I bought one for 200 bucks that was obviously a rti rifle someone wasn't happy with, its got mild surface rust on the mag and no finish left but otherwise it's got a good bore and it's complete. I was thinking of doing a duracoat job but I haven't made up my mind yet
You should have degreased and soaked the stocks in mineral oil vats and then sweated out the dings. Then soaked in unboiled linseed oil followed with light sanding. Ending it with 3 - 5 coats/steel wool sandings of boiled linseed oil. You'd have a lighter stock with more grain and you'd be surprised at the results.
It’s just a flipped image, there are no left hand bolts for lee enfields because those would require left hand receivers and no one likely makes custom left hand receivers for them, and the Brit’s didn’t care if anyone was left handed you just had to adapt.

Someone a long time ago won a long range rifle competition at Bisley England with a 2 groove wartime production No.4.
Very nice

I got a B Grade #4 Mk1 and it was complete, cleaned up well and has a real good bore.
Your rifle cleaned up great !! Looking forward to finishing the clean up on my No.4
Looks good👍

A No.1 mkIII butt on a No.4 mkI rifle. Remember there are 4 different lengths of butts. Bantam, Short, Medium and Long.

Surplus guns bottom of the barrel
Better than nothing if the price is right.
how did get a left hand bolt?[see shooting section] optical illusion?
I agree left handed bolt, first for me!
It’s just a flipped image, there are no left hand bolts for lee enfields because those would require left hand receivers and no one likely makes custom left hand receivers for them, and the Brit’s didn’t care if anyone was left handed you just had to adapt.
I think he videoed with front camera possibly on cell phone usually the image is reversed
