    Enfields

    Are there any Enfield fans here?

    Yes. I have a No.4 and a No.5.
    Smooth action, fun to shoot.

      Yes, I like my Enfields. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
      People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

        My '42 Fazerkley is nearly identical to yours. Unbelievable trigger and an action that even when completely dry, is glass smooth. I simply put the ball of the bolt handle in my palm without even wrapping my hand or a single finger around the actual handle and it slides effortlessly. It is the polar opposite of a Mosin Nagant not only in function and firepower but in ammunition price and availability. It's a sad situation for us right now because all, and I mean ALL of the surplus is gone. Gotta reload if you want to shoot it otherwise it's 20 to 30 bucks for 20 rounds.

          I have a Enfield (No 4 Mk 1) as well, not the prettiest gun but it has a lot of character!

              I have an Enfield No.4 Mk2. It's a great rifle and the action is so smooth.

                Battle rifles aren't meant to be pretty.

                  Most of my Enfields are No 1's from Australia but I also have a No 5 Jungle Carbine.

                    I like them and would love to own one someday, but the money always ends up getting spent somewhere more "useful".

                              Good to hear and see Enfields are alive and well in California.
