Magnetospeed problem?

[bigedp51]

LR,

I used a dry chem fire extinguisher once to run a cat out of a culvert pipe, where my dogs could get to it.

Sorry ed,

I just finished the last one I had. I'm starting to wonder if ole Gato maybe had something to do with bustin out El Chapo.

Holy cow! A boxing cat. I don't know where you come up with this stuff, Big Ed. You're the best!

"Ed had it right but he couldn’t hammer hard enough to get the poster to admit it."

I can't believe you said that! Big Ed can hammer anybody!

I try to hammer with humor.

LR,

I thought that about ed too but I think he has weakened since his compa went to hang out with El Chapo. We'll, that and maybe the head of his hammer wasn't dense enough for the task at hand.

In full knowledge that this thread is more of an indication that someone has too much time on his hands rather than a sincere request for information, I will offer the obvious solution. Remove the front wood and related hardware. remove the front trigger guard bushing from the the stock and reassemble the trigger guard (with trigger) to the action using the bushing. At that point the rifle should be in operable condition (albeit in somewhat less ergonomic form), and you should be able to attach the chronograph for velocity testing only, since the removal of the stock and related parts will undoubtedly change the rifles tune from what it would be if fully assembled. This will not be a problem if an accurate load is worked up and then chronographed afterwords. Problem solvend. Next....

Funny you should mention the tune since it's come up numerous times in discussions about the magnetospeed. I was thinking, how much does the duct tape affect tune and do multiple wraps affect it differently. : ;D

Pavlovian Magnetospeed test No. 237

Test Notes:
After ringing bell test subject was stimulated with visual image of No.4 Enfield rifle with duct tape and string holding the Magnetospeed on the end of fore stock.
Test subject appeared to be slightly irritated and obviously forgot the shorter No.5 Enfield fore stock could be to used to solve the fore stock problem.
Test subject failed to use correct British nomenclature and said bushing instead of "Collar, Guard, Trigger".
Recommend test subject drink more Earl Gray Tea and be retested.

Test subject in post No. 5 gave the best response.

It's the cosmic rays that are bouncing off of the duct tape that is causing all the problems

P.S. Boyd Allen, below is a posting by Capt. Peter Laidler the senior British Armourer in the U.K., and author of several Enfield books. And this reserved British officer and a gentleman is thanking me for my for my efforts on Enfield rifle bedding. I had said that the biggest problem with these old Enfield fore stocks were that they were as dry as a popcorn fart. Mr. Laidler thanked me again the next day, because he used that line in his local pub and had everyone ROTFL!

“Thanks once again for those humorous but VERY descriptive pictures Ed. I’ll be using them on the next small arms school instructors course. One picture really does describe a thousand words.

Naturally, once again, I’ll be telling them (and the more senior officers that drop in time to time) that I thought them all up.
Thanks again Ed”

After all Boyd this is Accurate Shooter.

And once again where in the hell is that rat bastard CatShooter.

The duct tape is a joke, a gag, pulling ones leg, or "HUMOR", are you related to jlow and also a scientist. :

The problem with this forum is it needs to lighten up and some of the people to stop taking themselves so seriously.
Its a reloading forum where you "HELP" people and not have a meltdown like Hogan did saying we should have two reloading forums. Or a benchrest shooter saying that a Enfield rifle doesn't belong in this forum, BUT we answer AR15 questions without throwing a fit.

Now excuse me, I have to go now, I have to lap all my Redding Competition Shell Holders, and epoxy my Lee quick change bushing to my press so it will not move. (dry humor)

last time I saw catshooter he was in a ghillie suit and headed for central Pa. Matt

 

[BoydAllen]

I got the joke. Apologies for the Numrich parts terminology. I guess that I am going to have to post a picture of the Enfield that I was given. It is unique to say the least. Please don't look at the picture if your digestive tract is at all sensitive. I did manage to tune up a load that put five into an inch or slightly less (long time ago, don't have the target any more). If I remember correctly, some of the old stock bedding lore involved strips of inner tube between stock and barrel. As you will see, the fellow who built up (or down depending on your perspective) my rifle took a different approach. The one thing that he did get right was the trigger. It is not bad at all. I only have 180 grain Sierras, and at its weight and stocked the way that it is, it kicks more than my varmint rifles, and is more difficult to manage consistently on the bags, so once I had met my accuracy goal, I set it aside, until recently when I put a few rounds through it. It still works as before.

I did neat it up a bit by trimming the extra inch of hose clamp. Thinking about it now, perhaps I should restore that detail so that the full glory of the work can be appreciated.

 

[/VH]

Boyd,

If you're going to go to all the trouble to restore the hose clamp, don't you think maybe you oughta silver Krylon the stock while you're at it? I once saw an old Colt 45 thumbuster that a guy had in an old wooden fruit crate with a bunch of other ones thrown in there and on this particular gun, somebody had painted the grips silver. It really gave it a unique appearance and made it stand out from the crowd.

Are you gonna get a whole new hose clamp or just braze the cut off tail back on it? I'm not sure if anyone still makes those tactical hose clamps.

 

[BoydAllen]

Since the part is currently available, not a period piece, or original equipment, IF I replace it, it will be with a new one. Brazing on the old piece is not an option, since I threw it away. As for others modifications, I prefer to leave it as it is, as an example of eccentric rich bachelor Armenian farmer engineering. Besides. it shoots just fine the way that it is.

 

[/VH]

Well OK. I just thought since it was an Enfield, it might deserve some more custom refinements.

Sorry, I thought you wrote what you originally posted because you weren't wrapped to tight.
And you have cleared it up now. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have to go now and put my tinfoil hat back on, I'm sensing cosmic bad vibes from the Enfield Gods and Boyd Allen's photo.

 

[wboggs]

As mentioned by others, it looks too far below the bore.

At the risk of offending the accuracy gods, I had the same problem with my 1903a3. The guys at Magnetospeed sell extra sets of spacers for about 10 bucks shipped. I shortened them to fit the short barrel end, got the correct spacing and got excellent results. By the way, the accuracy went to crap but the SD was 10.
