SMLE mounts without drilling and tapping
19/08/19 06:44 PM

Saw this on a group on facebook.

A set of mounts using a picatinny rail for a SMLE which does not require drilling and tapping etc.

https://www.arcticfoxoptics.com.au/shop/military-mounts/303-enfield-1-mark-3/?v=6cc98ba2045f

How do they work?

Are they reliable and not shift under recoil or over time?

I note the facebook group had one person saying his had not shifted for two years.

The main person posting favourable comments, showed the mounts and scope fitted, but did not have a bolt in the rifle.

Do the mounts and/or scope get in the way of the bolt?

Also does the scope need to be removed to remove the bolt?

Please comment.

PS I would consider a set of these mounts for my cut down SMLE No.1 Mk III. It was el cheapo, possibly very worn. Not worth doing anything to, unless it might be rebarrelling.
