Lee Enfield #5 Range Report

[neilwest]

1. Took her to the range. Very accurate and a joy to shoot. Only problem was she doesnt like soft point loads. Wants to jam.

2. I had the same problem with my 7mm and found when I used military rounds they chambered better.

3. Other then that wonderful weapon.

FUN AREN'T THEY!!!!! What type of ammo did you use??? I use S. African Ball ammo. It is very good, not as HOT as my WWII surplus AP ammo, but cleaner. We need to get REDSTAR converted, he NEEDS ONE. Somewere there is a poor, lonely, little #5 waiting for him. REDSTAR.....She's waiting for you......8dDUCE.

1. alls we had around here was Federal Classic, (20 rounds for $15.00 ouch). I need to get in touch with some of your suppliers for military loads.

2. None available in this area!

3. Redstar get one, You'll feel better since you didnt get that mauser.

AIM has the South African at $7.50 for 50 rounds delivered.

www.cheaperthandirt.com has the same stuff, slightly more expensive but they're faster than AIM and they don't hassle you about photo ID's ect. Ordering online with them is easy and they are a great company to do business with.

neilwest, I get most of my 7.7x56R (.303) from gunshows. I pay $6.00 abox if I buy over 10 boxes. OR I go to this gun/pawn shop, AAA GUN and PAWN in town. The ammo is MIL-SURPLUS, 1940's and it comes in 100 round bags. Some times you even get AP Lewis Gun Ammo (HOT) for $30.00. I know the owner very well, I have spent ALOT OF MONEY there. I do not though, Richard (the owner) is always helpfull, and never refuses to talk, help or work with me. For this kind of service, I do not mind paying the money. Richard is like most business men, the more loyality you show the more he usually "bends" in your favor. This IS THE ONLY PLACE I DO MY WEAPONS TRANSACTIONS. I buy every thing through Richard. I know that I could save a few bucks other places, but it is about LOYALTY, and GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I can see, hold and ask about the item in question and get a straight answer. I can also put that item on "lay away" for up to 3 months. This really helps, find the weapon you like, put a down payment 10%, and you have 3 MONTHS TO PAY IT OFF!!!! I have not and likely will not find such service anywere else. 8dDUCE.
