I thought they stopped making rifles with the magazine cutoff in 1915 to save costs. It's pretty interesting to see one from 1937 with a cutoff. Probably for guard service so they would not have to permanently convert it to a musket.
The magazine cutoff came back post WWI with the reintroduction of the Mk III vs Mk III* . It was then abandoned in 1939/40 as WWII started. I have several interwar model Mk III Enfields with mag cutoffs.
You hear alot of bad things about RTI but since watching your videos, really changed my mind. Most clean up very nice and look like great shooters. Thanks for the videos 👍
One thing I noticed that helps getting metal parts off of wood that are stuck it's just taking linseed oil and just squirting it all in there and letting it sit . Another thing I'll do on these b grades and a lot of rifles I get from Royal tiger is the barrels and the mags are usually in the white so I'll just get some markley Express rust blue and touch it up it takes like eight applications and a lot of patience but it comes out pretty nice
Just be careful putting too much linseed oil on the wood. It can cause the wood to swell and worsen the problem of having a stuck bolt or screw in the wood.
@@markmason3146 That's pretty cool you got a mag cutoff though. You should post a video of it. Barrels come and go, I recall some NOS came from India recently but dried up.
after watching your content im starting to fall in love with the battle worn look and faded blue of these rifles, what is your go to method for a screw that wont un screw.?
There are alot of methods to use as steps of escalation. Best way is to get a good screwdriver set with flared bits of various widths designed for good fits on a flat heads. Downward pressure is always important as well as some kroil for stuck screws. You can also use a butane torch in extreme cases, heating and cooling it will help break it free.
