Memories of the .303 Lee Enfield

That is one sweet looking SMLE. Looks to be in top condition.
Thanks. It was FTR in '55 and I can only assume it was dressed up externally at that time. The furniture has been sanded back quite a bit and then appears to have been varnished, almost as if to create a parade rifle or similar. A little too flashy honestly. It has no butt markings remaining so I cant research any issuing but it appears to have been used very little, mechanically it's A1.
As a bonus it came with a nifty foresight cap which many have but this one includes a tab that extends down to cover the muzzle.
 
Shot my first deer with a .303 Jungle Carbine back in 1987.

Do you still have this rifle? I'm in the KC area on business and I'm very interested.

I didn't get drawn for Wyoming this year.




Are you planning to hunt Unit 4 this fall?



(Thinking about coming out)

Thanks again for your support on the Rhodesian Shotgun thread. From the amount of "LIKES" it received, it appears there was only ONE person who objected. Hes also the same one who continually insisted on interjecting his posts that werent relevant to the thread.
