Lee Enfield. 375 FL NE 2 1/2 Project
10/05/16 10:10 PM

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I should like to start with an admission that this project seeks to honour more than replicate a Lee Speed. Firstly, I am starting with a Longbranch No 4 Mk1 action that I obtained in sporterised form and missing its bolt and magazine. I have polished the action by hand and it is now with a gunsmith. Secondly, I want this rifle to be my 'go to' rifle for a range of hunting and as such will need some sights my old eyes can use yet still be in keeping with the concept of an early 20th century British sporting rifle. So I have decided to equip the rifle with a sporting ghost ring sight.

The action is having the charger bridge removed and the rear of the action cleaned-up and a rear bridge installed to accept a NECG ghost ring sight designed for the CZ550 dovetail. The bridge is being milled from a piece of chrome moly and will be screwed and silver (soft) soldered to the action. I have gone this way so if the hunting conditions warrant, I can remove the ghost ring and replace it with an Aimpoint micro or similar.

The barrel is being source from TSE and I am having a custom reamer made with a throat better suited to the use of cast bullets that will be made from a custom 270 gn Mountain Molds mold.

I am hoping to use this magazine as part of the project:

I will post pictures as and when the work is progressing. Please wish me luck!
