Thanks to all the knowledgeable people who posted in this thread. Very educational.
RESOLUTION ---
After extensive searching for components for returning my free Enfield "sporter" to a more original condition it became apparent that I'd be spending a LOT of money , $100+ on the forend alone. In the course of that search I monitored several auctions for Enfields in original condition , eventually landing one for a mere $256. I then sold the sporterized one for $175.
Enjoy the images of my $76 Fazerkerly Enfield , and thanks to all who contributed to my crash course on this fine line of classic military rifles.
And the sporter may have found a good home as somebody's deer rifle...
I have a brand-new Weaver scope base, for which this rifle was drilled and tapped. My B.I.L. bought the base by accident years ago. If you want it, you can have it.I was given a rifle - it was headed for the dump. I have no idea what it is , other than the broad impression that it is some kind of bolt action , box magazine military trainer. Eastern Europe?
This is not my area of expertise. I removed a cheap rail and scope ; there is a peep site. It looks as though the butt stock has been shortened.
Please take a look at the images , request more details if helpful , and get me going in the right direction.
Again , what is this?View attachment 858494 View attachment 858495 View attachment 858496 View attachment 858497 View attachment 858498
Man, my older brother loved those things. It was the thing to do in the 50's to buy those rifles and convert them to sporters. Sorta like the Mosins a few years back. I would keep it and try to get it into working order. Slick actions. It's a better shooter as is rather than restored.
