This update has to do with some ammo that I just received. I had ordered a couple of cases of .410 shotgun musket ammo for the Enfield 410 shotgun from Dan’s Sporting Goods. These are some great people to deal with. It was a very pleasant experience to say the least and they will have my business again. Here are some pictures of the ammo as it was shipped and out of the package. The head stamp indicates that it has come from India. I have fired 10 rounds so with no problems indicated. I know that that is not much shooting to verify anything, however a complete shooting session will be in the future.

I found it interesting how much the case expanded after firing.

The ammo came wrapped in 10 round bundles and packaged inside of a wooden box.

The first picture comes for Dan’s sporting goods web page.

  Dan’s site also has a real good picture of the components of the ammunition.

If you happen to have one of these fine Enfields I recommend that you contact Dan’s about some ammo before it’s all gone. Here is there web page:

Now as for the rifle that I used and a few close up pictures of some interesting items on the weapon.

My rifle is in very good condition with a couple of repairs to the stock. It was made in 1949 and is marked RFI.The magazine has been removed and a wooden filler block installed in it’s place with a metal feed ramp to allow loading the cartridge.

The rear sight has been riveted so there is no adjustment for elevation, not that you would need any.

Here are a few more pictures of the rifle.

I have a quick video of me shooting it in the test fire tube. As you can see there not much recoil and the noise is minimal using the tube.

I am still trying to get the bugs worked out on the voice over.

If you are interested in more information on the Enfield rifle and the different variances I recommend the following books.

Hope you enjoyed the post. Any ideas or opinions are appreciated.
