Needs a can

Sako . 17 ex @BRADS and ex @Maca49

DPT shortened to 16 inches plus can

Nightforce 4-14 x 56 SHV. Loves 17 gr Remington





My first super accurate Sako after having a few of them

Also posted on the AR photo thread.

The CMMG .22LR upper and my existing Spikes lower with Katipo stock.
Upper came 2nd hand with 15 round mag and MAE can. It's just the paint wearing off the plastic mag.
Yes, the hand guard isn't level with the receiver, but not fussed, as it will wear a scope, not irons.

1942 SMLE No.4 Mk1*.

My first "classic" rifle. Upon closer inspection it appears pretty beat up - a lot of the engravings have faded, the wood has been pretty scarred. Rifling (2 groove) appears to be reasonably proud throughout midsection, barrel is quite pitted (which I understand to be a consequence of corrosive nitrocellulose ammunition). The crown is virtually smooth.

Bought it mainly as a collector's piece, the other example on offer was a Mk2 but it had been modified and the Beech wood wasn't to my aesthetic taste, even if it was supposedly a better shooter.

I've had a poke around on allaboutenfields.co.nz which was quite useful but his list of markings (by his own admission) was inconclusive, as my rifle features markings that either aren't there - or I'm not able to discern them properly.

From what I can tell in my limited research to date, is that this rifle was produced by ROF Maltby in South Yorkshire. The receiver and wrist have matching serial numbers. I cannot see any serial number on the bolt itself - the only marking on which are a "F" and "2", I'm assuming that the "F" denotes ROF Fazakerely production?

There are markings on the weapon but markings that I'm expecting to see, such as a crown or broad arrow are seemingly absent.

I *think* that there might be the shaft of a broad arrow above the serial number located on the wrist but it's missing the head. From what I've seen on the internet, the quality of the markings can be sometimes half-arsed. Completely understandable if one was being bombed incessantly.

Enfield experts out there @res, please - Lend me your eyes (with apologies to William Shakespeare).

Did it come with any Commando Comics?

I have four of 'em.... two Carbines too.

I would too if I lived in the US.

Ha!

Like res says, they used to be a lot cheaper. Often saw them in gunshops in Rotorua-Whakatane-Gisborne for $300-400 in the 1990's.
Popular for pigs over dogs, not too loud but adequate power at close range. Still see .30 carbine ammo on the shop shelves so there must be a few of them in use.

.30 Carbine is a hell of a cartridge. Has more energy at 100 yards than .357 Magnum at the muzzle. The 110gr SP loads are nothing to sneeze at.

Screw conformity....





5.56 AR mag fed AK and my .40 S&W CZ-75B

I don't live by no rules man! .40S&W is a fine cartridge and 5.56 AR fed AKs arent an abomination to the gun gods.

An american with an AR and pistol, now thats non conforming.
