    THE LEE-ENFIELD RIFLE THE LEE-ENFIELD RIFLE By MAJOR E. G. B. REYNOLDS LONDON: HERBERT JENKINS First published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd 3 Duke of York Street London, S.W.1 1960 © E. G. B. REYNOLDS 1960 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Second Impression 1962 Printed in Great Britain by Cox and Wyman Limited, London, Reading and Fakenham 5 FOREWORD BY LIEUT.-COLONEL LORD COTTESLOE, T.D., V.D. HE introduction of firearms into the armies of this country goes back a T long way. In 1590 Sir John Smythe, in a book that was promptly suppressed as contrary to public policy, was lamenting that the firearm had superseded the long bow, a far superior weapon, and even complaining that the firearms of that time were inferior to those of his youth. Sir Winston Churchill has written of Crecy that the arrow hail at 250 yards produced effects never reached again by infantry missiles at such a range until the American Civil War. It was not until after Waterloo that the rifle attained as great an effective range and accuracy as the long bow; nor was it until the introduction of the breech-loading rifle a hundred years ago that it could develop as high a rate of fire. For some three hundred years, during which the cumbersome wheel lock and match lock were superseded by the flint lock and there was some development of rifled barrels and of cartridges to facilitate loading, the development of the firearm was slow. But early in the nineteenth century Alexander Forsyth's brilliant concept of the percussion cap led the way in a remarkable revolution that culminated during the latter half of the century in a breech-loading rifle with a small bore and with relatively shallow rifling to reduce the accumulation of powder fouling, a rifle firing a long bullet of high stability, capable of good accuracy and of a high rate of fire.

  • BSA Hunter, I Was Keen to Tackle Another BSA and the Next One to Become Available Was a .308 CF2 Or More Accurately the CFT Model, “T” Standing for Target
    Thames Valley Guns Armourers Report Introduction Having restored the BSA Hunter, I was keen to tackle another BSA and the next one to become available was a .308 CF2 or more accurately the CFT model, “T” standing for target. I drove down to Reigate in Surrey, UK to have a look. The rifle wasn't in bad condition, the receiver and bolt where good, barrel was approximately 45% worn and the woodwork had taken the customary knocks, from over the years. Whilst the rifle was not in peak form, I was interested in restor- ing the rifle back to its prime and therefore decided to go ahead with the purchase. In 2017 I got bitten by the “accuracy bug” and although not a true target shooter I was keen to maximise the rifles accuracy and compete against more modern target rifles. I had a period scope in the form of a Lyman x25 LRBR and a selection of some Parker Hale 1” rings to choose from. Having identified the rings with the correct height, I fitted the scope and scrubbed the barrel to remove any excess deposits. Worn barrels are not just worn, they often have excessive copper and carbon deposits which badly effect accuracy. Having cleaned the barrel I headed of to the range with some old Radway Green ammunition. I saw no point in wasting quality ammunition at this stage, simply basic ammo for a basic rifle. Shooting at 100yrds from a bench, using a bag, the first step was to roughly zero the rifle. Again there is no need for pin point accuracy, its just wasting ammunition because at this point all you want to know is how the rifle performs so you can make a decision.

  • BSA CF2 Varmint
    Thames Valley Guns Armourers Report Introduction Having restored the BSA Hunter, Monarch and CFT, the CF2 varmint was the last model in my collection, that to date, I have restored. Even in the UK, varmint models are fairly uncommon and therefore when this .222 became available I was keen to purchase. However the seller was honest and informed me that the rifle had seen substantial use and that the barrel was at the tail-end of its life. Therefore once again, if I was to go ahead, this rifle would require a new barrel and a complete restoration, which would mean being out of pocket once again. The seller was supportive and I got the rifle relatively cheap which helped. Once I re- ceived the rifle, I stripped it down and cleaned and checked the rifles condition. Despite the worn barrel, the action was sound, the ejector was rusty and therefore wasn't working efficiently and the stock was showing signs of wear of a typically well used thirty year old rifle, however all, was easily repairable. I had a period scope in the form of a Leupold M8 x24 long range target scope and a selection of some Parker Hale 1” rings to choose from. Having identified the rings were the correct height, I fitted the scope and scrubbed the barrel to remove any excess deposits. Shooting at 100 yards from a bench, using a bag, the first step was to roughly zero the rifle. Again there is no need for pin point accuracy, its just wasting ammunition because at this point all you want to know is how the rifle performs.
