[QUOTE="Beercules, post: 804957, member: 4713"] Mmmmmm...Enfields...I'm going to have to dig mine out of the safe for a change of pace at the range. I imagine what you are looking for is actually a No.1 MKIII SMLE, or maybe a No.4 MKI or MKII. You might try local pawn shops for these, as they are fairly common and were imported in abundance. The .308 Enfields are actually Indian rifles (the 2A and 2A1) built at the Ishaphore Armory starting in the 60s to equip their rear echelon elements and other non-front line personnel such as police. They are not just simple conversions; they were designed to handle the .308 cartridge and use different parts than the .303 rifles. The Mosin Nagants are neat rifles and fun to shoot, but I'm not a big fan of beating the bolt open with a 2x4. :D [/QUOTE]
