Enfield mk1 not project
Next on the work bench is an old SMLE my buddy wanted me to fix up...
It wasn't in bad shape it had a spot er stock on it and rear leaf sight was messed up. We discussed options and figured she needed.to be back in military dress.....
I did some Internet kung fu and got a hand full of hard ware and a stock set from numrich and sarco.... got the parts yesterday and the all look wonderful......except the buttstock. It looks like it was stored underwater for 20 years. .. numrich is getting a call and we'll try again on the buttstock after a return......
The new forestock and handgards are on the new hardware test fitted. Now to pull that apart and work on sanding and making the stock Purdy....
The photos show the shorter stock next to the rifle...

The Enfield is coming right along..... numrich has a new buttstock enrt... I think I have all the small parts to finish it up. It only took three more online orders!.... thought I was done with the butt stock sling loop and sling then I realized I needed the screws to mount it....
Anyone else figure out they need just "1 more part" about three time doing a project? I swear this is like a plumbing job....

When I use to work on cars I always ran out of bolts, because I would replace all the ones that were missing.
I have been working on my HP 4100 laser printer for the last 3 days. I was getting paper jams on excess paper that was not required for the print job. Only happened when the pages were 10 or more. It took 10+ hrs of Googling till I finally found a post on a home DIY printer fix forum. One thing, I got pretty proficient at taking this printer apart. And it is probably cleaner than when it was new. The problem was a foam pad that had deteriorated throwing the timing off. Not a problem you expect for sure.

the good part is I got to look around Numrich's And Sarco's sites and order a little this and that I needed for other projects....
