Milsurp After Hours

I found this diagram in a Canadian Army #4 manual.

Thanks Curtis, this is probably one of the most frequently asked questions on the other Enfield boards and one of the most contested by people saying they have a better method.

I have tried all of the other methods and they all cause stoppages!

Personally I've found that if can get your chargers to hold the bullet at the right tension, a slight rattle when shaken in the charger but not dropping out and the chargers are nice andsmooth and polished, I use Zeebrite stove black. Then they always strip the right way into the mag regardless as to how they are loaded in the charger.

I have about a dozen chargers that are in this ready to go condition and 700 plus waiting to be fettled, got to be a winter job that, its amazing what you get round to doing when you don't own a television.

If I would load the rounds from this charger wouldn't the top round catch on the 2nd rounds rim ?? And wouldn't this happen either way I used the charger ..

I thought it was 3 up 2 down ???

Mr T,

No it's definatley three down and two up. _-_-_

It's best explained on one of the Lee Enfield skeleton training aids as you can actually see it happen when you load them.

Perhaps somebody a bit more eloquent then myself can give you a technical answer, sadly I know it works but struggle to put it in words as to how it works.
