    An enjoyable video. There must be some magic engineered into the Lee Enfield charger that it only functions for subjects of the crown. Watching you gents zip rounds into your trusty No.4s fills me with envy. Here in America, neither I nor any of my shooting buddies who own a Lee Enfield can get a charge to feed rounds into the magazine The rounds fall out of the charge before we even get close to the bridge, spill past the magazine onto the ground, or just jam up in the breach It's a brilliant design to ensure that any Lee Enfield that fall into the hands of an enemy could never be used against Great Britain. Well done, Lads, now go enjoy yourself a warm beer!

    John M. Browning created a design for a single shot rimfire bolt-action rifle in 1899. It is US Patent No. 632,094. He sold the rights to Winchester who produced it as the Models 1900, 1902, and 1904 series 22 caliber rifles. The design was not protected in Europe and was copied by many firms including BSA. BSA produced a 22 single shot copy of the Winchester/Browning design for sale in the UK. BSA also had the idea to scale up the Browning design so that their Lee-Enfield rifle bolts would fit. BSA was a major producer of Lee-Enfield rifles at this time (about 1909), of course, so these bolts were readily available. BSA chambered their upsized version in the American 32/40 centerfire cartridge (See the BSA 1910-12 Catalog). BSA was a rifle company (at the time) but decided to start into the shotgun business by also chambering their upsized design in the 410 cartridge (the Lee-Enfield bolt can be easily made to fit a 410 rim). The 2 inch 410 cartridge was a bit short for the 3 inch + bolt throw, so BSA chambered their new 410 for a 2 1/2 inch shell and got Eley (and other) companies to make the longer shell. Thus, at a single stroke, BSA invented the bolt-action shotgun (admittedly by borrowing from Browning/Winchester) and the longer 2 1/2 inch 410 shell. Before this design of BSA, the only bolt-action shotguns were conversions of old black powder military weapons such as the Mauser 71.

    A friend and I came across one of these in a shop down in Somerset recently at pocket money price. Tragically he saw it first so I missed out 😂 Shoots lovely, very tight pattern, but we found it didn't like extracting Eley type rims that look rather like golf tees, with a 45 degree chamfer on the leading edge. I suspect my Hull Cartridges with a proper perpendicular rim would work better, though this hasn't been tested as all mine are 3 inch carts. The spring retainer on the bolt head is interesting, and like you I originally thought is was one piece barrel and receiver until I spotted the faint joint line through the logo. Next time it comes out to play I'll check the barrel length.

    I own one of these, so may I make a helpful suggestion? To remove the rear sight on the rifle barrel just keep undoing the elevation screw (you were so close!) until it comes all the way out - just don`t lose the little spring that comes out with it. The elevation adjustment screw is what keeps the rear sight fixed on to the dovetail mount - it will then just slide off. As to power, mine (with longer barrel) does 9.68ft/lbs with 16grn .22 AA pellets😁

    G'Day, I recently saw one of these single shot bolt action shotguns at my local gun shop in Victoria, Australia. An interesting .410 variation. At first glance in the rack, I thought it was a Mossberg bolt action .410, something I was actually looking for. The bolt looked like a modified Lee/ Metford/Enfield one. I was tempted to buy it but the "collectors" price put me off and I ended up buying a handy, light little Boito single shot .410 for close range rabbit shooting. After shooting 12 gauge shotguns for over 50 years, I'm really enjoying carrying and shooting the .410 shotgun. I'm now quite taken with this calibre. I'm hoping to find one of those folding Belgian shotguns, either a double or single barrel and loading light black powder loads in it. I enjoyed watching your video very much and have subscribed to your channel. Cheers, Steve
