I recently purchased a #4 Mk 1 Enfield in .303 cal to use as a custom gun project.
I know...aggghhh..don't do it! But too late..she is destined to go that route.
Anyway..it is a Factory Recond and the barrel seems to be either brand new or almost new. The problem is with the sporterized stock, the barrel is rediculously long.
My questions are...
1. What is the best way to cut a barrel to a more manageable length without having to unscrew it and put it in a lathe?
2. I plan on putting a muzzle brake on the weapon. Is there a way to thread the barrel without unscrewing it? If not I may have to consider the option of installing a muzzle brake by welding or as OlyArms does with their AR15's....with set screws.
Any help would be appreciated.
Good Shooting
