ive been wanting to build another rifle for a while now, its been two years since the last one i made, a 357 bolt action.
this time its front locking, not rear like my last one.
im using a no1mk3(1944 India) 303 barrel, the 303 barrel threads were faced off and the OD was turned to 26mm then threaded 18mm long into an under cut m24X1.5, no sights as there will be a scope on the receiver.
i made the receiver and bolt from 4140 and its hardened to 36 rc.
im going to bore a straight wall chamber in the Enfield barrel to the beginning of the rifling. Then made an insert that im going going to chamber for 7.62x25 then sweat it into the barrel (boiling water and dry ice)
i plan on using w231 or titegroup to load the starline brass. i plan on shooting at 1000fps, and ill be using 100gr cast bullets and setting up the rifle for 100m
