I have a British Army rifle, from 1942 that I found in my dad's shop last fall while cleaning it out after he passed away. I need to figure out how everything on it works. It's also a .303.

Very interesting article, and the one about the Rifle too!

My dad has a Enfield .303 in really decent shape, that he got from his dad.

I have one of those .577/.450 Martini Henry rifles, made in 1899, probably used in the Boer War. It's in great shape, but I'm still looking for brass so I can fire it...

Interesting post but I never was a big fan of 303 or enfields. Thanks for the reference work.
