I turned a junked out British military Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1 rifle into a Mannlicher-stocked sporting rifle about 15 years ago. It has been my most used deer rifle since then.
If I found one in similar shape these days I'd be more likely to find a military stock and restore it, but I'm still happy I built this one.
In the video, I'll shoot it, and I'll show you how to convert the magazine and trigger guard to a sporting configuration.
