Turner Semiauto SMLE Conversion 

Gary Hamad is it in bfv?

Zack Davison yes and fairly good

@Zachary Peterson Its okay. Pretty fun at times.

Literally the best Semi auto rifle. I love the M1 Garand but the clips too small, this baby can hold up to 20 rounds if you get the extended clip.

@Zachary Peterson LOL bandwagoning at its finest BF5 is fine I don't know why people hate it.

Ah yes, the Slavic Rocket Surgery

Think of British world war 2 sub machine guns to calm down then.

@ That is my new favorite quote.

Hk G11 would like to step into the ring.

I will always remember how part of the disassembly procedure involved banging it on a table.

I didnt know that John Garand was a Canadian! Damn

Much in the same way that the primer used by American ammo suppliers was invented by an Englishman and the Berdan primer was invented by an American...all together now, "Haaands Across The Waters..."

@@hwl308 Canadian-American technically. He was a citizen.

WE got the best of the deal

@@russbilzing5348 Haha that song reference!

I'll never understand what defines a conversion. I mean this thing has practically nothing shared with a SMLE

phileas007 except several things, magazine at least

Some, *some*, of the single shot to bolt action conversions were worth it

@@phileas007 It was CONVERTED, Thus it's a conversion.

@@phileas007 it was converted from hence it's a conversion

Seems 113 other people agree with you.

I'm with you. I think these are actually incredibly cool

Get on it bro u know people will buy it just find a way to buy old parts and make a newly manufactured version of this

Drill purpose rifles would be a good place to source most of the parts.

You got that right.

Sometimes, simplicity has its own value. I'm sure we looked at it, but I do understand why we went the other way on that. Complexity is often not a great feature when field-stripping a rifle is needed.

Depends on wether he means Celsius or Fahrenheit

@@firestorm165 doesn't matter... I see -40 fairly regularly...

@@tritowns Just as an aside, -40 is the same on both scales. Here's me in the depths of an Australian winter thinking that +13C is bloody freezing!

@@allenjenkins7947 That's the thing, 13C is freezing cold compared to 25, 30 or 35 C. I live in the land of great contrast, which is northern Sweden. Summers are kind of short, but still end of june-end of august is usually nice and warm. There are usually a few days, sometimes a few weeks, of entire day-night cycles when it's between 20C and 40C or at least never colder than 15-18C even in the middle of the night... Because the sun barely goes down. 40C in the shade is rare, but i can't remember a summer when it hasn't been above 30C in the shade and mostly the temp is above 20C in the shade daytime all summer. Winter is almost the opposite. End of december-early march it can get real cold. Usually there are at least a couple of days when it gets to -35C or below, but -10 to -25 is regularly what it's like, with occasional warmness of -10 to +5, mostly in march. End of march to beginning of may is what we call "spring-winter", this is the time for really enjoying snowmobiles, skiing, snowboarding etc. The temp is usually above -10C in the air, although the further into april and even into may you get, the warmer it gets in the sun! The snow is slowly melting for most of the end of march and through april in the daytime sun. It can be cold and snowy, but when the sun's out it's like 5-10-15-20 C in the sun and life is just beautiful on a snowmobile or cooking by a fire or just carving up a mountain. As long as it gets below 0 at night, you can enjoy winter activities, but at the end of april-beginning of may it's usually above freezing at night and so the snow and ice just go away in a couple of weeks. Thing is, in the fall/autumn +10 can feel quite cold, especially because it's damp and the sunlight diminishes every day. In the spring, when you're used to the cold winter, +10 usually invokes me to go back to t-shirt and jeans, especially on a sunny day!

@Allen Jenkins I wear t-shirts at that weather. A light jacket is fine up until it hits -25° or more, then gloves and a thicker coat are necessary to avoid frostbite. That being said, you're probably more used to hot weather than I am. I can't stand anything over 35°. A side note, a girl was being rather dumb in the next town over last tear and didn't wear gloves when she was walking outside in -40°. She had to get several fingers amputated. She was only outside for under ten minutes. So yeah. Wear gloves if its below -25 or -30, if you like your fingers.

Is it though? I mean I imagine it was good for the war effort for commonwealth forces to use similar guns. Perhaps if it had come earlier and was better (and the UK had been enthusiastic) then maybe it would have been worth it.

Anthony Williams The Canadian Rangers still use the No.4 mk2 as a main service rifle

+Mr MoJo Risin I'd heard they went out of service there last year

+Anthony Williams to be "phased" out by correct 2015 but most rather wood and iron in -40 then polymer, they have the option but rather somthing reliable

They did get taken out of service and are being replaced by a version of Sako's T3 CTR rifle. More info can be found here: www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/06/25/replacement-selected-for-canadian-rangers-lee-enfield-rifles/

Except an obrez

Except a broken Enfield

@@baker90338 that was the Mosin

@SapidSalamander as cool as the Obrez is, yeah I would never do that to my Lee Enfield.

*R I M L O C K*

Interesting since Britain itself uses a mixture of both because of indecision. The schools teach metric and all the road signs are in imperial units. People weigh themselves in kg and use feet and inches for height, miles instead of km and either yards or metres depending on their mood. Its confusing.

joezzzify From Confederation until about 1970-71, Canada was on the Imperial system. England started the swap in 1965. Despite being born after Canada went metric, I learned both systems, and still do the bulk of my ballistic calculations in MOA, Yards, Inches and feet per second.

People weigh themselves in stone, not kilograms.

i was sure we didnt use metric back then. good to see i was right. everything firearms related we use imperial and really the only metric unit i use is speed on the road. even distance is miles since road allowance is by the mile

***** You'd be surprised how many CAN'T,

really not bad for a one of a kind prototype.

Maybe.....

Ha ha ha what a good imitation of a poor person, 10 to 20 k is barely walking around money hahaha!!!

I don't care how wealthy you are, if you walk around with that kind of cash you're a fool. I gather it was probably a joke..

Rarity bro

DesRoin That's my problem too, alas, finances do not permit acquisition 🍻

And the more Heath Robinson they are, the more they appeal! No idea why... maybe its the Steampunk in all of us lol

Wonky weapons are sexy 🥰

TheGoldenCaulk 👍

With eyes like yours I bet you see everything

Siesta Time I was thinking the same🍻

Both the Canadian and US army's have been Metric for a long time.

Canada went metric in the mid 70s. The rifle would of use Yards for it's sights.

He should know this from the Canadian fal episode.

​@@chickenman1801the FAL came well after WW2 for Canada. Metric conversion was also well after WW2.

When Ian McCollum himself expresses a desire to avoid disasssmbling your rifle twice, your gun is officially Too Complicated.

A licensed version of the Tikka T-3 to be more exact.

David Mcwatters Bid on it and let us know how it shoots🍻

Well, now most Semi-Autos are illegal in Canada... Fuck.

@@spartans-4196 And now they're trying to ban most semi-autos in the US... Fuck indeed.

I think it would be possible to solve this blocking by pushing in the bolt handle release while moving the plate.

That's what I'm thinking. Push in and hold the button then pull out the plate.

i have the same idea....push in that little button, and it should give just enough wiggle room at least...thats what we can figure out with our eye balls. lol on 2nd look.....i think pushing in the release would jsut make things worse.... possibly you pull out on the bolt stop button, and then the bolt release part would slide out of the op rod???

Yeah, that's what i thought too.

I've been thinking about this also... at 7.24 when Ian is talking about being unable to release the side plate he lifts up a little tab. if the plate was still in place the lug on the bolt handle would fit into the gap that the lever uncovers allowing the side plate to come straight out of the receiver and then move backwards with the bolt/carrier until it's free to swing out sideways. My 2p

Ben M *gun jesus

True

That's about average for a RU-vidr

There are plenty of RU-vidrs who get more. PewDiePie for example.

Ben Parsons uh...fuck no

almost need a table to do it on.

@@jonblais6225 and an engineering degree

that's racist!

What am I missing here?

If I were squinting I'd say I couldn't see it

also, Ian, when are we getting a video of Suomi kp/-31? As a fin I'd love to see you make a video about it!
