Weird No4
Found this on facebook, I'm usually the first to shy away from hacked up Enfields but as this guys description says it's a parts gun using what was salvagable from the knackered barrel. His description is below.
My F S enfield , made from spare parts , the barrel had to much rust and pitting, i could only save 8'' of it..., its fun to shoot single handed and in the shoulder,.. not much recoil ,.. i been shooting cast bullets so cases are not fully charged,..shes a good little bush gun.
To be fair he has made a good job of it and I bet it's a good laugh to shoot! I guess with some full loads in it, it will buck a little bit!

B*gger, I want ne now!!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

It is amazing how if you get enough bits in a box and give it a good shake how some of them stick together.

Re: Weird No4
I like it and it looks quite handy as well, I should imagine it is a hoot to shoot at 25m. Did he say what the folding butt section came off?

Re: Weird No4
It is certainly similar to an MP40 but with some subtle differences.

Re: Weird No4
Sadly it would need a minimum of 12" barrel and fixed rear butt section or at least 12" of it fixed to not stray into the realms of S5. It is a very doable project all the same.
