In this video we take a look at a very interesting part of Enfield history, the No1 MkIII .410 Musket. These were conversions of original .303 British rifles over to .410 smoothbores for a prison guards and police work among other things. These Enfields were originally designed to fire 98gr musket ball loads which are still available however many were opened up for modern 2 1/2" .410 shells, this example included. Stay tuned, much more on the way.

Can you imagine a squirrel thinking you were pointing .303 Enfield at him, lol
It's not a .303 though :/
But he couldn’t know :)
HILARIOUS BROTHER! i think that there is the coolest rifle/shotgun ive seen in a minute lol
He'd be like "Oi! I ain't no Jerry! Put that thing down mate!"
@@Smirkku that's the point -_-
These are like the guns the guards had at the British embassy in India, aren't they?
Charsept they are
They were also used to arm prison guards and were popular as a hunting/self defense weapon.
The main reason for the modern conversion of these is that in the U.K. it’s FAR easier to licence a shotgun than a rifle. That opened them up to re-enactment groups who could own them far more easily than the rifled 0.303 and if you’re only firing blanks it makes no difference! Over this side of the pond you can also get the No.4 SMLE in conversion to 0.410 smooth bore shotgun which is also popular with the re-enactment groups - British Home Guard were issued with ex WW1 SMLEs as they were the same calibre 303 as the WW2 issue No4 - an update of the SMLE
Matt Luscombe Not to be that bloke, but the No.4 is not an SMLE.
Matt Luscombe That's correct, to own a 'section 1' . 303 you'd normally have to be an active member of a gun club that has access to a 'fullbore' range.
I.e, the onus is on *you* to satisfy the powers that be you have a 'good reason' to own one.
While with shotgun, basically if you're not legally or medically disqualified, you're good to go. You still need a licence of course but *they'd* need to come up with a good reason not to grant you one.
These conversion were made 2 generations ago. Was gun control an issue that far back?
They also gained tons of popularity in former British colonied like India where they didn't have proper shotguns so they just converted former SMLEs into shotguns.
There are a lot of these in the UK, pretty cheap too
MrcabooseVG I would imagine a lot of guns that are available there aren't as expensive just because there isn't the market for them like there is here in the US or Canada?
Also with things like these Enfields when places like India returned to self rule a lot of equipment came back to the uk....
There's about 1.5 million people with FAC's and shotgun certificates so there's a decent sized market for them. Not many people collect here though, hunters stick to their rifles and shotguns, target shooters stick to their .22s, 'tactical' people stick to their semi auto shotguns and so on... I think basic .303 Lee Enfields cost more here than the states though which is odd
MrcabooseVG Really? Huh that's surprising to me. Why don't all British shooters unite under one flag?
Same here in Australia
When I was an Army Cadet in the early 1970's, Lee Enfield .303's were the first weapons we got to use! The last (many years later) was a 120mm anti-tank gun!!! Keep up the good work mate, your videos are cracking!!
I used to have one of these in the original musket chambering, very interesting load to make rounds for. You would have to anneal 303 casings and load them with 3-4gr of bullseye, fill the case with cream of wheat and then wax seal the end. You fireform the cases and then load them with shot with cardboard discs as buffers. Loading the round ball round was trickier, you had to make a 44 crimp die work to round the case over the ball. Very fun gun.
This is EXACTLY the enfield I came here for
Should do a 45-70 enfield. I took one hunting a while ago it was a really nice rifle.
Eric and Chad...thanks for the best channel on TH-cam. Informative and entertaining with lots of great content. From the foothills of Mt Rainier in Washington State.......Bob
Now, just load the shells with slugs and black powder and you've got yourself a true steampunk-style musket.
(According to the views, i am 34th)
Arouteous Kophrebus I like the way you think
Berdan primers.
I have one of these. It's not really practical for much, but it is fun to shoot. Not a bad shotgun to teach some new shooters with. Looks pretty cool with a buttstock shell holder stuffed full of .410 too.
Thanks for sharing a bit of history with us.
This is so unique! Thanks for the upload
Love the videos! I appreciate all you teach us.
I just had one of these handed down to me from my step dad. It’s in great condition too. I’m super excited!
Hell 2 boxes of 410 gets you to 303 prices
Dout it for the most part, 25 rounds of 410 bird shot is 12$ ish
Nathanael Henderson 24$ gets you federal brand 303 here
keith moore i guess bc its not as common anymore?
I bought bulk 303 Privi Partizan from Cabale's with a $20 off coupon last month. Per shell it was cheaper than 30-30. Privi Partizan brass is much better than Federal.
These things sell for $400 to $450 around here, when they were originally imported/sold they were $89.
Someone should REALLY work out a magazine for these! Maybe an adapter to use Saiga .410 mags? Hell, even a little 3-4 round box would be nice. I remember seeing these in Shotgun News for stupidly cheap prices when I was a kid. That they were single-shot
.410s built like a tree trunk, and their odd chambering, kept me from ever really lusting after one. Like they say, "If I knew then what I know now!"
in the 9 hole reviews video on it, they just use an enfield mag
My late father owned a Krag carbine that had been converted to .410.
Always enjoyable every educational.
I need Enfields. Not just one. Notice that was plural. I need them all. Every single one.
It's been one of my dream guns since I was a kid and now that I can legally own them because I live in this beautiful, fucking awesome country. I will own as many as possible aha.
Part of the reason for these conversions was so that the government here in the UK needed could get rid of thousands of surplus rifles after the end of ww2 so they made them available all over the commonwealth as shotguns, especially here in the UK, at a time when all you had to do to get a shotgun certificate was to go into the post office, pay £5, you could then go buy a shotgun, lots of veterans wanted these because they were familiar. This was in the 50s, 60s, and early seventies before gun control increased massivly
Obtaining a shotgun certificate is still pretty easy in UK
@@stgsyd7183 if you live in the country and have land to shoot over maybe, unless you're already a member of a shotgun club in the UK Youve got virtually no chance I'm getting a shotgun certificate, whilst it's true that the police are more likely to issue shotgun certificates than an FAC, they still don't like doing it. And won't if they don't think you need one
That was the good old days and you could buy shotguns out of the club books
Great video, Can't wait for the jungle carbine. I picked one up last year and they are a blast to shoot.
That first soda shot was amazing haha
That is pretty cool. Thanks for the video!
That just rocks, I have a few .410s, and now that is on my look for list.
The Lee-Enfield (a Savage No4) was my first rifle, so I have a special love for the old Smellies. Great rifles indeed.
Guns and gadgets has a video up on how we can help push the national reciprocity bill that's going to vote tomorrow. Everybody please watch the video and take action we can't afford to sit on our hands if we want this to go through.
By the way Eric cool vid and you know if you're looking to sell that bad boy I'm looking to buy. That is cool as hell.
Dammit my wife is going to be pissed. I just bought a Px4 storm and a hi point carbine and now I'm going to have to get this. Are you trying to get me divorced or what man.
Patrick M link? Pls
I like Guns I'm old school don't know how to do links just search guns and gadgets in TH-cam it's his latest video. Glad to see people are interested in fighting for the rights of our country though.we need everybody we can get these days.
I like Guns . By the way I like guns to man.
Another great video!👍🏻
Nice. Always wanted one of those and the 22 trainer!
Cool video. Damn that looks like fun.
Awesome video- thanks! Back in the day - SAMCO had them
This gun is probably the coolest .410 I’ve seen in a while.
Would love to get my hands on 1
really top notch close out on the video
Brilliant stuff 😀 👍🏻
Very nice I need to add one to my collection
Great video, like military and guns with history
Not only made as riot guns but there were a bunch of shot out barrels that were too pitted to return to service so they bored them out for .410 ( also can use as smooth bore .45 long colt.) bought my barrel from Springfield Sporters for cheap about 14 years ago. Magazine can be made functional again with a little work but one needs to do some work to get the .410 to feed. Now one could do some machine work and bore out the muzzle and thread it for a rifled choke tube, might look at the tubes used by the Thompson Contender or Encore .410 / .45 LC barrels. Have a spare enfield action that gets this barrel installed when I get a chance.
Hats off to the British for repurposing some of their old rifles instead of just selling them back on the surplus market, throwing them into storage for decades or outright destroying them.
Awesome video guys, I’ve actually got one in Australia, great fun on rabbits.
I love Lee Enfields. Up here in Canada, the military is selling off old Canadian made surplus Enfields that are chambered in the original amazing 303 British cartridge. Great gun for the Canadian wilderness, just due to the pure power factor you have in a 303. They are going for $949.00 to be exact. Great video guys!
That didn't age well.
@@ATruckCampbell so far they’re still safe afaik
So cool thank you for the videos
I have been looking for one of these for years
That's such an awesome gun!
saw that shirt on your video last week and had to have it....got it. You guys should have more Tshirts in your store
I want one keep up the good work God bless y’all Orale 👊🏼
410 is my favorite to shoot, I hope i can get my hands on one
Hi. Eric..the Enfield that I have shoots actual brass case. 303 rounds that have a lead ball slug in them. They come as surplus in a really cool wooden box about 7inch square. Very cool
Does anyone else think it's cool how the big gun channels wear each other's shirts?
I don't think Eric and Yankee Marshall will be wearing each other's shirts anytime soon. . .
Id love to have one of these its awesome
Eric, I've been with you guys from the start my friend, Thank you guys for all the great vids brother. Is there anyway you can so a tribute video for Barry?
Gary Allen Barry was his own tribute. We lost a great man there. It still seems weird to watch these videos without him.
Patrick M your right. He was a very entertaining person to watch. He was the reason I subbed in the beginning but then I fell in love with the channel. Eric and Chad are the best on TH-cam in my opinon.
I recently took mine out deer hunting and killed a 200# 8 point with it. I was shooting the original 410 musketball ammo. At 50yds I knocked it down with a double lung shot just behind the shoulder. Buck ran 50 yds and piled up. Truly impressed with the power of that old ammo. Practiced at 50 yes and 3 inch group was not bad for that old smoothbore.
Over here in the UK,.410 cartridges have allways been available in the little 2inch size also.
and I believe they still are.
Regards from a old limey b.
Cool trick with the shells between your fingers. Four aimed shots in twelve seconds.
I saw one of these at a pawn shop for $225 it's still there I
Might pick it up and get ray to open it up
JUST DO IT (that is a awsome price)
Grab that thing( the scattergun)!
What pawn shop ????!!!!!!
Really wanted one of these to take sporting clays shooting
Its amazing
You guys are just havin' too much fun. I just got 4 of these as gunsmith specials for $125.00. I am hoping
to det at least one of them running soon. They look like somebody kicked here all the way from Ishapore
How smooth is that action!
Enfield smooth.
Yeah, Enfield smooooooooooooth.......... Holding mine now
That intro was great.
Whats the best way to get burnt polymer off a gun more specifically a standard handguard off an ar15
Watermelon bowling.... What the hell?! Haha.
If you had some evil zombie squirrels you could also fit the sword-bayonet.
I know you guys posted this nearly a year ago. I just bought a No1, Mkiii * today and went back and found this to watch. I miss Barry. I know you guys do too.
my father used my grandfather 43 mauser with 410 all the time and it was great ! the 43 was a real beater almost no rifling left hahaha
Question. My father has an Enfield No.7 mk. 2 model F, just wondering, how rare/collectible is that? Milsirp, never saw combat, has less than 40 rounds fired through it.
Hi Eric,
Love these videos please keep them coming. I know I am alittle late to the party concerning the Martini Henry rifle.
Do you think it is still possible to get a decent untouched rifle at a decent price from IMA? Or do you think by now they are all picked over? I have been trying to comment on the older Martini videos. But my comment seems to disappear.
This reminds me of a mosin nagant that i saw at a gun show. It was re chambered for a .22 lr. Pretty interesting
Got one and a Lithgow .410. Great things.
Great video . I Love mine . People freak out when you hand it to them 😂
*Needs more SMLE*
Hits harder than I expected
Is there anyway to re use( re make?) the internal magazine to accept the 410 shells
Wonderful! Try shooting a round of skeet with it. Of course, you would have to shoot the doubles as singles, but that's OK.
That sound of the bolt is orgasmic
i wonder if you could re-install a magazine in one of those?
Nice fun gun.
Do you think 19th century guns that were converted to .410 shotgun caliber can handle commercional smokeless loads or do you have to reload BP rounds ?
The regrettable incident occurred in 1919 in India. The Indians were demonstration in a town square for independence. The local British Army General sent in two companies of Colonial troops whom opened fire expending all their .303 ammo. If I recall correctly it was 1,600 rounds.
Is there any chance you can make a video on the updated Texas knife/blade laws to help spread the word
Looks like fun
Awesome
I have a No4 Mk1 Version of this from 1943 Made by savage under lend lease.....love it odd bit of history.
The barrels so long it reaches half way to a 25 yard target resulting in a 1/4 spread
Ashley wells right? I'd think it'd look better if it were shortened by a foot or so. It's single shot anyway
But that full length barrel kind of makes it look like an SBR.
At least to me it does
I meant full length stock
this is very cool idea teach kid shooting if were made again.
Would love to own one of these in England, never seen or heard of one over here though...
how far effective range on this plinker.for me this is good enough like 20-25mtr on a slug ammo
Can the enfield when converted to .410 still shoot .303 ball rounds?
How hard would it be to retrofit a magazine into one of these? A ten shot bolt action .410, that would be pretty slick.
Would love One!
A new gun to add to my "Bucket list" of guns.
You are the Bob Ross of the gun world
What if you shot a 45 long colt out of it? Would the action be able to handle the recoil?
Kris Boge yeah 45 would be a walk in the park. still the same action as 303 just different barrels. Although whether it would actually fit the chamber I do not know
Not a good plan trying to squeeze a .451 bullet through a .41 diameter bore.
Wow, I am amazed at the price people are asking for those. I remember back in the 80s seeing them for less than $100.
Good video! Where did you find such a piece?
These are great guns.
.303 is easy to find but is not the cheapest, next time I see one of these I'll be picking one up to go with my Mk3*, I nearly picked up a .410 Martini Henry a few weeks back but just missed out.
I am not sure how short the hulls need to be, but on the Ballistic Products website they sell primed 2 inch, short .410 hulls for $17.19/100 count. If that would work in the old unmodified chambers then you would have a supply ready to go.
That's cool!!! Have you ever run across a K98 chambered in 12 ga?
Such a perfect gun for shooting skeet if you are use to using a Lee Enfield
can i shoot that enfield ammo out of a 410 single shot...ie a rossi tuffy????
Had one until recently, an Ishapore Arsenal 1942. A converted No 1 Mk 3 star. A lot were old and tired rifles converted and issued to police/militia. As a smooth bore, and originally a necked down .303 with a musket ball, they were not accurate beyond maybe 100 yards. I see Eric's was originally a BSA 1918.
