Have an old Mark 4 and never use it. So before I put it on the table at the next Houston Show,
is there a intresting project for it?
I have about $25. in it.

Gene,
I'll take it.

need one to do a 45/70 on!!!

jeffe

Selling is not a friggin project

oh man..

fine.. i'll sell you a 45/70 barrel, and we'll rechamber it!

then you'll have a 45/70 bolt gun...


btw, don't use my handirifle loads in it!!

jeffe

I'm pretty close to deciding to do a 338-303 or 375-303 for my slant box Rigby project. Gene, if you have a preference I'll buy the reamer and you pay Jeffe to chamber our barrels

Then he will want to make the stocks

you guys...

it's an enfield.. i have some spare lawn timbers to make the stocks from... just need a chisel and a belt sander!!

jeffe

I thought you just paint the military stock with do-it-yourself bedliner and call it a "synthetic" stock.

I thought that stuff had to be sprayed on. I didn't know I could just PAINT.

I don't know if I would do it on a MK4 just because I think the No1 MK3's look better, but I was toying around on the Big Bore forum awhile back about making one into a 405 Win.

The rounds do fit in the magazine, as well as the stripper clips.

If that sounds like way too much trouble, which it probably is, then I would also recommend a 25/303. Neat caliber.

Spraying is high technology not normally associated with bubbaism.

6.5/303 would be better
a.i.

No messy spray or brushes for me, I dip all mine and just let 'em drip dry.

I like the .405 Winchester idea. This would be a global weapon. English design, American cartridge, on an action from OZ.

I've got an article about doing a 45/90 on an Enfield...somewhere.

Does it ring a bell for anybody else?

Fireball,
what action is that in your avatar?
jeffe

Rebarrel it to 35/303 - great scrub gun!! The action's slick, 10 in the mag.

If it wasn't for our gun laws, which make importing here a PITA, I'd give you $US50 for it!!

When is the next Houston show anyway?

How about a .375 Nitro Express?

Its an original Winchester cartridge print for the .375 H&H.

I found a bunch of them dated 50's-60's from a guy who used to work at an Olin ammunition plant.
