My first restore, Lee Enfield no4 mk1 mixed parts

[coolhandluke]

Must've not been on it originally, where should it go? Good eye!

The ejector screw threads into the hole on the left side of the receiver, near the receiver bridge.

Yea I better order that part then, wonder why it's missing, I didn't have a round or snap cap to test the function of the rifle but everything seems smooth

Great job. Restoration of milsurps is a great hobby.

Thanks gents! I am excited to start my next restore project, my dad's old crusty JC Higgins 16 gauge bolt action shotgun. It's a real ugly duckling and starting to show signs of pitting.

This time I'm sticking with the bluing, no more spray bs... I'm going to try the brownells oxpho-blue creme because I have seen some great reviews. Pics to come soon!
