    Perhaps, but the photo shopped image appears to show an American WW 1 M1907 leather sling............... Let's stick with the webbing if we can. :>)

    Nice one Bruce, worth rummaging through the old chocolate box for those old pictures. Back in the "old" days my old instamatic was next to useless and I missed out on many good photo's.

    Up until probably the late 1950’s the rifle of choice for a government culler was a cut down SMLE .303 (not that they had any choice!). The cullers generally rated the three ‘oh highly. Being a...

    Just checked with Hatcher's notebook. He gave the .303 bore as that with the grooves 0.0058 deep so the grooves would have been .314 to .315 inch as noted. The lands and grooves were equal width...

    Greetings Csmiffy, There are likely plenty of .303 Lee Enfields out there with groove diameter's that large that shoot quite well, especially the two groove barrels. I think where Ruger may have...

    ROKTOY the way i'm going I will probably have a spare one for you. Cordite some seem to get theirs to shoot fine and the bores were OK. Maybe later models or just tighter? here is a cut/paste...

    I've been shooting a light 303 load comprising 125's over 30 gns of Reloader 7, for about 2500 fps. VV N110 with the same charge works really nicely too, very low ES, good accuracy and about 2600...

    Micky Duck, I like the idea of a baikal with a chamber reamed to .303. Anyone around here actually done it?
