$50 Lee-Enfield Rifles 📦 Milsurp Unboxing (Century Arms) DP No.1 Enfield Ishapore Military Surplus

[@donwyoming1936]

Just take into consideration, these are rifles that Numruch Gun Parts & Sarco declined to buy for $15 each because the labor involved made them unprofitable to sell as parts. Ishapore wood does not bring premium prices either. But if you need parts for rifles you already have, it's the cheapest way to get them. 🤠

[@gunsforevery1]

Numrich probably also didn’t want to have to deal with putting drill rifles on their books that they were then either going to have to destroy or sell.

[@junicohen7918]

​@@gunsforevery1they sell frames and receivers

[@bad74maverick1]

Took a couple DP's like those and ground out the plugs, a simple spot weld on one side is all that holds them in. Then I sleeved them for 22 long rifle, welded up the receiver ring and made fantastic plinkers. Since the firing pins are cut, all you have to do is cut them down to the right length as original .22 SMLE trainers and put an SMLE .22 bolt head on and head space it. I even used the empty magazines to catch the .22 casings. Since Enfields have skyrocketed in the last couple years I developed a method to repair the receiver ring and if it has a mint bore (most do, not sure why a lot of these were DP'd unless deemed simply obsolete. Even the actions were great) weld up the chamber holes and sleeve it and make shooters out of them again. Of course the actions need fully checked, headspaced to make sure there's no micro cracks, stretching or anything preventing proper headspace especially along the shoulder locking surface. I have access to a gun repair shop so it was easy for me. On that note BRP is selling SMLE barreled receivers that have the chambers drilled but not the receivers in blocks of 4 or 5 for cheap. You could use these DP's and those receivers...

Always a great time with these videos. I love your enthusiasm and energy, it’s infectious, and just what I needed after 40 years of collecting milsurp rifles!

Good on you for taking the time and effort to restore the old British rifles 🍻 💯

Hey Ready after watching your video i ordered one of the DP rifles from Century and it was a good one. only missing the top hand guard and front sling part. i ordered the front hand guard and sling part from Apex both DP parts. I now have a complete DP rifle, glad i did ,great wall hanger.

That's crazy they are worth $50 at the most, but you can pay more if you like.

[@MaxMinXX]

I ended up buying 3 after seeing this (I didn't want to gamble with 5) I got a lot of functional smle barreled-receivers (smooth bore) that I bough for 40 bucks back from Century which will need stocks. Century is such hit and miss when you don't know what you're getting. But I had such a pleasure collecting Milsurps from them for almost 2 decades now. Most of my collection were from Century. My most fav collection I purchased from them was a 1939 Luger, 1877 colt lightning, my 1890 Ottoman Empire Mauser (still in 7.65×53mm Mauser), and my 1917 Lithgow SMLE.

[@RUSTYSURPLUS]

Hey Ready Lots of geese there and $50 each good deal. I might just order one. THX for showing !!

[@kirkmorrison6131]

My Dad had one, and I loved it. I will have to pick these up

[@doylerhill]

Back when Century was importing tens or hundreds of thousands of Mosin Nagants they would sell off the ones with issues for $20. They were called “u-fixems”. I bought many and still have some. Sometimes they were trash and sometime it was a cracked or missing handguard or front sight, etc. always worth the $20 in parts.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

You should have put that $250.00 in a pickle jar and saved up for a decent Enfield, unless you just wanted to render the Cosmoline to re-sell. On a related topic, the only part of a No. 1 SMLE I've ever needed to replace was the extractor spring.

will you clean these up in a video

[@tonymorrison-un8qs]

I believe the rifle with the solid red band means it’s a different caliber…P14’s/M1917s with the red bands indicated that they were chambered for .30-06 not .303.

[@TheRustylungs]

It might be a marking to show them as dp only rifles

[@johnmccrea8106]

Can these rifles have that pin removed and be repaired to be safe to shoot again????? Thank you.

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

Depends on how they were Demilitarized, and even then I’d probably not shoot anything more powerful than under powered or black powder cartridges, or as a smooth bore 410… usually these were Demilled because their receivers or bores are shot out of spec. So do so at your own risk.

Okay guys I tried for almost two months with daily messages to try to order these and to no luck. Spoke to a lady at centry arms. They officially sold out this week. So no more. Good news. She says a new shipment is coming but with a slight increase and unlike the $50 offering these will be complete rifles. If the price is around $75 with it being complete it still very well could be worth it.

She says the listing expected to be posted in march/ a month from now.
