Updates!!

Thanks to a hacksaw and a welder, I introduce... real Enfield working trigger!

The magazine release is real too, but non-functional and welded in place.

No room in there for a full magazine! The mag is chopped down and waiting for final fitment next week.

I wish you all could see the ingenious method I used to have the trigger working properly.

The hollowed out and chopped magazine:

Dis-assembly step 1, view from the side.

Remove the stick magazine which is holding the metal clip in place:

Remove the metal clip, and the rear upper wood slides out. From there the entire receiver and barrel assembly slides out the back.

Current state (original Enfield sling)

Tested the gun last weekend, shoots fairly accurate and hard to 50 feet or so. I am pretty happy with the way it shoots.

Stay tuned!

Refinished the stock with a bit of oil, it was very faded in spots:
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...f/DSC00327.jpg

Stock is attached to a nut welded to a plate bolted in place and held in place by a thing welded to the magazine welded to the trigger guard. LOL:

Tool for attaching the stock:
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...f/DSC00329.jpg

Real Enfield safety attached (non-functional):

Magazine welded up and painted:
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...f/DSC00326.jpg

Current status:
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...f/DSC00325.jpg

- Need to fabricate the receiver "cover" to hide the parts connecting the stock.
- Need to fabricate a new bolt (Devcon didn't work) or find a way to attach the real steel bolt
- Need to grease and lube the goods that make it work
- Need to pin/hold down the barrel tighter

Then she's done! I will get geared up and take some "action" shots soon. That will make Jerry shake in his bloody boots! :twisted:

Very impressive so far. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

scarletsnake March 11th, 2009 19:28

that's some serious work :D

Moderate March 11th, 2009 20:02

Hot damn! I want one. Very nice job, I can't wait to see the finished product.

Ronan March 11th, 2009 20:43

Very nice! I would love to take pics of a WWII game/kit/guns!

When I get home (Back to Petawawa, Ontario), I'm going to weld your end bracket to my reiever ring. And I'm thinking of upgrading her to a VSR.

Nice purchase Arnold. Hopefully when and if you have Op Drug Bust 2, I'll get to see it myself. Too bad you're not close to me. I have a real steel Lee Enfield you could use as a guide for the parts you need to make...

Teslen October 13th, 2009 19:44

Hi!
Great project.
I am going to make the same in Ukraine. Can anybody help me with blueprints or drawings for Lee Enfield N4 with exact sizes, cause its impossible to find any reference in Ukraine?
Regards.
