Wow thanks for the heads up on the Williams mount. Will look into that. You know i’m Meaning to postition the scope beside the receiver !HarryAlonzo wrote:For a side mount scope mount, you can use a Williams SM-70 on the SMLE #1 (round receiver) with an adapter plate, or an SM-71 on the SMLE #4 & #5 (flat receiver).
One reason I retired my Mauser as a battle rifle was that the sporter stock was too thin and had too short of a forearm to use as a club. Are you fixin' to restock your Enfield?
At this stage I won’t restock the 3 sporters . Although my my last action ( junky ) is missing the charger bridge , & basically just a action but have enough parts to build a few rifles.
With this I wanted to build a full Frankenstein, chassis & ar buffer tube stock & forend . This is what i’d Put the side mounted scope on & re enstall the charger bridge . But may never do it as I also want a full mil spec no 1 mk3 & have new unissued Lithgow heavy barrel & full wood kit & a old armorers box of unissued parts . Enough for 2 rifles, everything but the receivers. But I might wait and pay good money for a heavy barreled Lithgow target rifle & have a good smle smith build a 2nd rifle . Not sure what to do right now but know i’m Sitting on smle gold just lacking a mint receiver, got 2 mint bolts & magazines ,
Unfortunately my 3 sporters are all drilled & tapped & my spare action is drilled for side mounts & know bridge.
