LEE ENFIELD No. 4. Mk. I. versus RFI Ishapore 2A1, part 1

Описание: First part of a two-part video about the famous battle rifle of the British Empire, the Lee-Enfield No. 4. Mk. I. in the fabulous .303 british caliber, pitted against it's "grandson", or "nephew", the RFI Ishapore 2A1 manufactured in India. The indian rifle was made in 7,62 NATO (7,62x51mm), and fires absolutely safely the commercial 308 WIN cartridges. The rifle is in excellent condition, tha headspace is perfect, and let's discard the stupid rumor that indian steel in these rifles is inferior quality.

The steel used in these RFI rifles is top quality for the 1960's, selected for the hotter 7,62 NATO rounds (hotter than 303 brtish at least), and the rifles were made on the original british tooling, following the british instructions. Top quality, amazing trigger, nice accuracy. Loves lighter bullets, 147 grain boat tails f.e.

Let's compare the WWII british model and the late Cold-War Indian. ALso, let's check out the bayonets, accessories, and capabilities.

These two milsurp rifles are must-have for any collector out there. Imho, these rifles were the pinnacle of the bolt action rifle history, arguably the smoothest bolt aout there, and are actually still in service.

Accurate, powerful, reliable, they are more than suitable for target practice, hunting, competition etc.
