Picked up a unissued, unused ’55 Faz built No4 MkII on Saturday, cleaned it up & took it out on Sunday…. The *blonde* 3rd from right..
Id’s (from right):
Mosin M44, Mosin M91/59, ’55 Enfield, 1919 Swedish Mauser, 1918 BSA built No1 MkIII* Enfield, Mosin 91/30 & a sporterized No4 Mk1 Enfield.
Mate also bought his *new* ’55 Enfield that had a total of 30 rounds thru before Sunday…
Mod Edit: No hot linking, please!

About 100yards, using iron sights. & with my eyesight I can’t focus on the front sight on the guns so it’s all (literally) a bit hit & miss.. Front sight falls into the *blurry* vision range 🙁
Here’s the triplets:
& the quads 🙂
It’s called getting old mate:D I suffer the same problem. Try to focus on the foresight and let they your eye pick up a blurred image of the rear-it isn’t a scientifict method but you’ll find it should enable you to tighten up your grouping quite a bit.

Nice grouping,At what range did it punch through that 1/4 inch plate.You can understand why it became the snipers choice.

Gone green with envy at that collection mate, is that mosin still hard to get into safety.I fired a few rounds through a 1944 mosin years ago.
No idea, I’ve never used the safety on any of the 4 I own (there’s another 91/30 not in that pic) 🙂
Here’s the vid from Sunday:

& here’s a piece of 1/4in steel plate I poked holes in with the Mosin, the multitude of light marks are from my kid & her .22 Savage

Does the mosin 44 still have its bayonet in place?
Yup 🙂
When you say “sporterized” do you mean modified if you’ve modded it how.
Great set of weapons you’ve got there.

I didn’t bubba the gun, some previous doofus did that. If you look at the row of rifles the 7th from right with the scope on it is the same gun as the blonde ’55 303 thats 3rd from right..

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! 😡
I wish you’d look after the language as well as you look after your toys.

Well the other term for it is “Bubba’d. Close enough to “bug.ered”
Anywho, a sporter 303 was good enough for Mick Dundee..
Today I’m attempting to remove the new finish from the 1918 MkIII* & using BLO to get it all the wood the same color. Right now each piece is different.. & not one of the pieces looks anywhere near how it should..
