I love to see UPS coming down the driveway!
UPS just dropped off my Enfield action that I had rebarreled in 300 H&H, and I am as happy as a kid in a candy store.
I know the H&H case taper lends to smooth feeding, but I was a little surprised at how little work was done on the rails. The action is a P14, so its laid out for rimmed .303 cartridges and I expected the underside of the rails to be reshaped along their full length. However, very little metal was removed and it looks like more work was done on the follower than the rails.
I didn't have any loaded ammo but did have some empty brass, so curiousity let me to fill the magazine up and give it a trial run- it all fed and ejected clean as a whistle!
I really don't have anything worthwhile to post, but my wife and four daughters (no sons) couldn't care less, and I just had to tell someone!

jeffeossoBelaw,
I couldn't be happier for you and your new gun.. I'll be a surrogate son.. you can just send it to me, along with the brass and dies, and I'll be sure to tell you how cool it is..... LOL
Man, I am glad for ya... hope you get here stocked up soon and firing.
and, as a father with 2 nearly grown sons (youngest grads from HS in 10 days), they will only pick off your best gear..

teal325Me too - love it when a plan comes together!
BTW - can I borrow the car?

The only thing better than the delivery truck turning up ,is when it turns up while the minister of catering and entertainment (wife)is away. Saves a lot of explaining that yes, it is another barrel ,and that no it didnt cost much. The worst part of when the van turns up and the wife gets there first and sees the price of the goods on the invoice.

WstrnhuntrThose guys piss me off when Im doing deliveries and they butt in front of me, (Im a driver as well) but they sure are good to see outside my house. Why just the other day a Fed-ex guy brought me a nice new scope to top of my nearly finished project.
A 300 H&H on an enfield sounds like a sweetheart, one for the many 300 winny shooters in hunting camp to oogle at..
