You talking about pin break barrels may just get me moving on the mk1 Meteor. I reckon I can get it to run at 8ftlb but going to have to pellet test a bit. She doesn't seem to like the 4.52 Exacts I put through everything else

Yeah I saw that. I wont have time to get down to Crawley to collect it unfortunately. It's got the stock I want and does look very tidy. Am watching it in case he becomes open to some negotiation on a posted price
I'm pretty sure I did slightly overtighten the breech at one point many years back so may not have been a Mark 1 or as you say, retrofitted bolt (although back then I'm not sure my family would have been in much contact with people modifying guns). Maybe I'm just a bit hazy on details lol![]()
I hope you get a '99 sorted, Will.And that one does look a good buy.
A cheap little wobbly should, hopefully, be easy to come by, too!![]()

Can anyone advise on the dates of the next Kempton classic arms fair. Having just picked up a stunning N0.4 Lee Enfield Deact, I would love to head to Kempton for a browse. cheers![]()
30th of June, Mikey.
Well done re the Enfield matey.
Would love to get to Kempton, but will struggle. But I just have to get myself a little Light Pattern one day and I think Kempton will be the place to find one. From everything I've read about this excellent event, be prepared to want lots of things!![]()

It has the later (knife bayonet) with this one Ted, with the same fitment as the pig sticker. It was pure chance coming across this Lee Enfield. I popped into my local RFD for a tin of superdomes and he had just received this particular rifle a couple of days prior to my visit. Its in absolutely superb condition dated 1943. I also done some research on the lovely Swedish bayonet and earlier Lee Enfield bayonet that I purchased from you. Its actually amazing what can be found out about a particular item using the serial numbers that are present. It kind of equates to being a tiny doorway into a vast history. Very interesting indeed!!
