Just arrived yesterday. LIthgow SMLE in the mighty 22LR.
Awesome fun and a little brother to the BSA No 1 Mk III*
@Tintin
They are an intriguing rifle. At the end of a range session you just drop the mag and empty the spent cases into the bin. Not many would know that it ejects the empties into the mag.

Wow. I’m really jealous. That is the exact combo I want. I search for it occasionally. I figure I’ll need to have it built.View attachment 487823
P14 (Remington) in 300 H&H that I salvaged a few years back.. Cost me less than $350 out the door.. The action and barrel had a lot of superficial rust and the stock was in dismal shape (this is the same stock.. it just needed a lot of work to bring it back to beauty)..
Probably the best find Ive made at a gun show in the last 20 years..
Have a few. 585, 505, had a 460. Have 416 wby, 300 wby and 3006.I've always had a thing for Enfields, the P14/M17's and the " Smellies "....I can't remember how many smellies I've had over the years ( still have three at the moment ) and a 303/270, 25-06, 308 Norma, 9.3x74R in the 14/17's ( currently building a 416 Taylor on an M17 )...so lets see your custom Enfields, professional or homemade, doesn't matter....whip 'em out and lets see 'em...

@Josh PMy n1mk3 is my favorite rifle I've ever owned twice. Recently purchased it back after it made the rounds through friends and they couldn't source ammo. A box of 180gr sp fell into my lap with ~300 pieces of primed brass. It'll eat for a long time, but I'm always on the lookout for some 215gr projectiles.
The furniture just arrived from Australia, and it's now the absolute best fitting rifle I have ever shouldered. After this hunting season I plan to swap out the mil sights for leafs and a ramped front.

The other enfield is a p14 in 300 H&H. It's at the shop, about to get work done to fit actual scope mounts to replace the mossberg 500 rail that was "mounted" when it landed at my feet. There's an old 60s leupold m8 4x that'll top it off. The stock is getting a lot of excess cut to make it match the bottom metal. This'll be a good learning experience. There's another replacement stock I'm eyeing for down the road.

When they (215gr woodleighs) become available again, I plan to give them a whirl.@Josh P
Woodleigh makes a nice 215gn RNSP weldcore. A friend of mine tried a penetration test at 100yds on a lead ingot 2 inches thick. It almost punched clear thru the bock. The old No1 Mk111 is a good old workhorse.
The M17 looks great when the bottom metal is flattened out, but please keep it cock on closing, makes it a lot faster to operate. The dogleg bolt is a classic as soon as you see it you know what rifle it is.
