M.I.A Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Thought I'd pop a pic up of my first kill with my lee Enfield no 4 .410 shotgun Shot at around 20 yards, dropped like a stone and what a buzz to be using something like this Had a quick drive through the farm and ended in the below, fantastic gun to use Edited October 6, 2012 by M.I.A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.I.A Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 It's a great gun, may upload some videos of it in action as there is none out there that I can find. They generally fetch around the 500 mark I've looked at that Nagant and its been butchered, shame I'd love one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Forgive my complete ignorance of the subject but is that a rifle converted to shotgun? Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.I.A Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hey D, Yeah it sure is, was originally .303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Thought so, nice work and a way to breathe life into an old rifle. People do use the 303 for deep stalking I gather, but it can't be that common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They generally fetch around the 500 mark I've looked at that Nagant and its been butchered, shame I'd love one [/b] corr 500 quid in 1985 the no 4 could be bought out of the shooting times mail order for 65,00 and the smle for 75.00 plus 4.95 carraige , if my memory serves me right the firm selling them had all marks and models of enfields they even had a few long lee enfields ( boer war era ) for the princely sum of 225.00 , a lot of money back then , i always wanted a smle or no 4 , but was put off by people that had them , some claimed they were not a lot of good , no choke , poor paterns , etc does your no4 use cartridges made out of 303 brass or 2 1/2 inch plastic shells as everyone i,ve had the good fortune to hold has used the brass 303 case .

M.I.A Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I love mine, it's chambered for 3" carts. I have bought a load of new .303 cases and intend to fire form them for reloading with shot Pattern isn't bad at all with 2 1/2 14g carts if you keep the range sensible, there is very little if no choke at all given the nature of the gun I guess.

People do use the 303 for deep stalking I gather, but it can't be that common. A friend of mine has one in .303 - somehow he has it down for foxes, it's just gone into a new synthetic stock and dosen't look too bad at all.

hafod Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 M . I . A i tried fireforming 303 brass in a webley and scott bolt action years ago and failed , not the best of guns to use for the purpose i grant you , the problem i found was the area where the necks were , was being split only tried doing half a dozen , only two turned out to be of any use , the other four were knackered , though to be fair i did not anneal the cases before reloading so that didnt help , but i did not reload metalic back then so if i were you i,d only anneal the neck and shoulder area of your cases before trying to fireform , use a fast burning powder to blow out the neck and shoulders out of the case , good luck .
