You guys would have gone crazy last week ! I called down to a buddies place & he was out the back shed throwing a heap of old rods & reels out, rod’s going on his burn pile ?? I mess with old stuff & he said take it all, even cool old Big Game rods & reels . I have too much old crap anyway...

Thank you for the input Bob, appreciate the info. Shows what listening to old guys does when your a young fella (not now) , they all warned never shoot that Machine gun ammo in your bolt gun as way to hot, when I did do a Internet search the Vickers VIIIz ammo came up 56,000 to 60,000 PSI & the...

I have only seen the White Bearded in Kenya but this looks like a huge Bull ! I have shot a fair few Blues & Blacks & I think this is the largest, I was meant to shot a meat animal, boy did I get stick for shooting a old Bull, weirdly he was fine eating, especially in the small goods.

Wow, that’s a lot of predators in one area, did you cover many Kms to shoot that many ? Next years Fawns will be pleased with you guys !

Another point on the .405Win in the Lee Enfield, the earlier Remington Lee Bolt action was chambered in .405 Winchester & the Lee Metford & Lee Enfield were considered to have more action strength from most reported sources, I haven’t read any actual tests mind you ! But if all goes to plan I...

Wow that is incredibly lucky of you, I now see you have the MKI trigger guard, do you have a gap around it as that should be slightly narrower then the later MLM trigger guard ? I’d love to have a MK1 sporter, did they fit the later model bolt with the conversion ? On the .405 Win I don’t...

Oh Bob I’d rather have it in 338/06 or 9.3x62 as my other rifles lol But it really isn’t an option for us down here bud, I had Clear Water rebore two Lee Enfield barrels to .375 back in the day when we could send & receive these items, unfortunately he passed away before sending back & soon...

Great stuff thanks for posting ! How the heck didn’t you get scope eye brow from the Pard 007 NV as it must of been near touching your eye ? It would have been much better on the 308 & done a great job also but I understand wanting to use you own African rifle !

So OMG did you build this .22LR Speeder on a 1888 Lee-Metford Mk I action ?? If so you would have needed to change the butt socket head on that stock to a Square one ? I have seen two real Sporters on that action, a lot of “Authority’s” say no factory Sporters were ever made & certainly no...

@sestoppelman I’ll have a look around to see what may have been fitted for the Hood. I’m sorry if we/I have lead this post of your awesome Speeder off track but do appreciate you letting us see it ! @Tintin ill post on your Speeder thread more on this but do you mean a magazine like this one ?

That is very strange then, the marking on the follower is what tells us what model/MK rifle/action it fits . The 4-5 means it fits the No4 Enfield & the No5 Enfield which we call the “Jungle Carbine” this would need a lot of hand fitting & in some cases wouldn’t fit not matter what. The MKIII...

That will be the bloke, I have told him & others that the .375 Ex mags are the same as all the other magazines, no need to single stack them, all need some adjustment but they will work if you are patient & handy . The only difference in the .375 & 8mm magazines are the bottoms are squared off...

I have had a couple of LSA Speeders & I don’t think I tried the Santa Fe mags in them but all of them are made to the same specs so should work ? Some mag catches or rear lugs are slightly different but should go in, could be hard to extract lol Feed lips & tabs always need adjusting a bit...
