Unboxing a New Lee-Enfield

[@thebadgerman1211]

I love your channel ❤️❤️ it's amazing so very interesting. The British Army in the Pacific theatre in WW2 are forgotten thank you for making them forgotten no more

[@TheFarOffStation]

Thanks again! There are definitely people out there helping to spread and preserve their memory, but on the whole, they really do get forgotten! Stay tuned for more content, it's in the works!

"tally oh lad, say, those Japanese soldiers really are a knick on our nack, aren't they?" "oh yes indeed they are mate, I almost got peppered by one of their Emma Gees" "stfu ya cunt" -it was a british/Australian joint operation

[@kenlansing1216]

The snick of a Lee Enfield rifle bolt being worked is music to my ears.

[@TheFarOffStation]

There’s very few things more beautiful!

[@daudenfield2905]

Clicked to see an unboxing of my favorite rifle.....got depressed and shamed comparing the cleanliness and tidiness of my room to his.

[@TheFarOffStation]

Don’t get too down, you can only see one side 😂

[@reicethornhill2627]

Love the vids I am such a nerd for imperial Britain if you need anything sorcing from the uk let me know. Also out of interest just wondering if you knew a scene in a movie where British troops enter a town/city with union flag flying. Looks to be in the middle east somewhere. Any ideas what film?

[@TheFarOffStation]

Many thanks, mate, so glad you've enjoyed them! I'll be sure to let you know, thanks for the offer! As for the film, is it old or newer?

[@neilmorrison7356]

You should take a look a bloke on the range and British Muzzle loaders channels if you haven’t looked there already!

[@TheFarOffStation]

Those two guys a splendidly great! I actually know Rob of Britishmuzzleloaders through the British Militaria Forum, great chap! I was able to meet him at the Victorian Rifleman shoot in Pennsylvania a few years back! Their channels are wonderful, they've done so much to break myths of the British Army and their weapons!

[@neilmorrison7356]

@@TheFarOffStation of course Rob is a Seaforth when he isn’t a Seaforth Highlander of Canada!

[@TheFarOffStation]

@@neilmorrison7356 this is true! I love that he does the Highland regiments proud! Plus, he looks really good when he does it there in the Rockies of Alberta!

[@davidmcintyre998]

You might enjoy a film called Nine Men it features SMLE rifles and can be found online.

[@TheFarOffStation]

I’ll have to go and check it out!

[@murray7403]

got to say I love your channel I would love to get a lee Enfield myself or at least at replica but as I live in Scotland its pretty hard to get my hands on and love your shoes btw.

[@TheFarOffStation]

Thanks, old boy, glad to hear you’re loving the channel and my shoes! I hope you can one day get a Lee Enfield of some variety!

[@TheAuditor6846]

Very nice gun!

[@TheFarOffStation]

Thanks!

[@Mumand2kids]

lovely rifle, where can I buy one that looks like the rifle its self

[@TheFarOffStation]

That really depends on the country on which you live, and if you’re even allowed to.

[@chris777ta]

Cheers get my rifle on Wednesday

[@TheFarOffStation]

Most excellent!

[@ChaseCool506]

Hey Dude, where did you get a Lee enfield smle even when guns are illegal to buy

[@ChristheRedcoat]

You’re joking, right?

[@ChaseCool506]

@@ChristheRedcoat No I'm serious.

[@ChristheRedcoat]

I’m gonna blow your mind here: it’s not illegal.

[@ChaseCool506]

@@ChristheRedcoat are you sure because it's impossible that you buy a Lee enfield? In the United States?

[@ChristheRedcoat]

It’s clearly not, dude. The video is literal proof.

[@nipponn1noiiotoko]

Hi I'm looking for bolts for my Lee-Enfield Mk III. Please let me know where I can get it.

[@TheFarOffStation]

Looking online is the best place if you aren’t in a collecting circle. Try the plethora of auction sites.

[@taliapillay2800]

Is that a blank firing lee Enfield

[@TheFarOffStation]

It will take blanks, but it is in fact a fully functional SMLE.

[@will.m9777]

Not to be a downer or anything, but the cocking piece is a WW2 version. A WW1 cocking piece would be of a rounder shape. Still an amazing rifle!

[@TheFarOffStation]

Considering SMLE's were used extensively during the Second World War, I'm not really surprised that it does!

[@will.m9777]

@@TheFarOffStation Good point. Personally I think it gives the rifle more character.

[@TheFarOffStation]

@@will.m9777 I think it certainly does as well!

[@rickyl7231]

I've got a 1918 BSA as well that I brought back to military configuration with a DP gun stock, one thing that I can't seem to figure out though is a marking on the barrel shank. It has a D in a circle lightly stamped on it, I've done online research on it but have come up with nothing. Anyone know what it means or have a book recommendation that might have the info I'm looking for?

[@TheFarOffStation]

Letters are commonly used “batch” numbers.

[@JPF123]

On 2 of your videos thus far the audio has been too quiet, just a heads up.

[@TheFarOffStation]

All videos prior to "New Kit Bits" had audio recorded with a different arrangement than is current, they're lower than whats idea due to the arrangements because of high white noise levels. This has of course been mitigated by the new setup.

[@andyb.1026]

Made in India, last week???

[@Dreadnought586]

No it is just a nice real one

[@TheFarOffStation]

Very much not, made in Britain 104 years ago! Like Lafayette Bomber said, a real nice one!

[@tommygun6028]

nice video , but it was the longest box opening I ever fucking seen...lol....

[@TheFarOffStation]

Most heavily packaged thing I’ve ever opened 😂
