Orderd a new gun :)

[chrismetallica1]

As I dont have loads of time to get out to a big outdoor range most of my shooting at the moment is at the local indoor range. Lucky for me is 5 mins away from my house  . Anyway a few months ago I put in a variation for a .45 acp rifle. Basically so I didnt have to reload a new calibre as I already have a .45 taurus. Well today after speaking to an RFD friend of mine I orderd a Enfield MK4 converted to .45 acp. A nice little bolt action rifle converted to take 1911 magazines. Cant wait for it to get back from proof so I can test it out. I will take some pictures and do a range report. Any suggestions on what type of optics to fit to it?

Hello Chris

sounds like a nice gun was it from armalon ? as for optics I have a simmons 1.5-5x deerfield scope on my marlin 1894c
which works very well and you get a good field of view, look forward to the pics and report .

Mark,
      It from a friend of mine who is an RFD. I did look at the Armalon ones but they wanted £950 to £1150 depending on model and I thought that was way too much.

Nice one Chris, get some pics soon!

Out of curiosity, does your friend manufacture them?  I as as I also have a variation for a .45ACP bolt action rifle.

I am thinking of a De Lisle

but it is a bit pricey.

Corrado,
           Yes my friend is an RFD with manufacture. He makes the .45 from a standard enfield .303. Basically its a full magwell change, new barrel, iorn sites made to look like the standard ones on a enfield. I did think of going down the De Lisle route myself. However he already have all the enfield bits made. I know another RFD Keef from the shoot forum once made some De Lisle style rilfes and fully moderated browning buckmarks. When I pick my new rifle up once its back from proof I will ask if he does De Lisle or anything similar. I know he hasnt got a website yet as he is a one man RFD and his day job takes up most of his time.

Nice rifle Chris.    That mag looks bigger than the one on my De Lisle. How many rounds does it hold?

[chrismetallica1]

That was just an old mag I had lying arround. Its a 10 rounder. I normaly just use a chip mcormac 7 round mag. They dont stick out as much
