Sporterizing A Lee Enfield

[Robtattoo]

I have an Ishapore that looks like hell, and needs a different stock in a big way.

Where are some of you guys find these synthetic plastic stocks? Choate?

ATI do a really good value glass stock for the Enfield......

I'm thinking of changing my screen name to "Bubba". I have two "sporterized" Enfields: a No.1Mk 3 and a No 4 Mk 1. Both have been re-stocked and wear scopes. One has a bipod. I love to shoot and hunt with these lighter and more versatile rifles and I do not care one bit what anyone else thinks about them or me. Those of you who apologize and say, "Well, I got it that way, so it's OK that I sporterized it.", should grow a pair and move on. Enjoy your fine Enfield the way you like it and ignore what the negative nancys have to say.

Yeah, I agree with everyone about not screwing with an Enfield in as-issued furniture. There are enough out there that have already been hacked that you can find one without damaging a valuable collectible and probably save yourself a couple hundred bucks in the process.

In my neck of the wood, you'd have to move the decimal point over ($3M) to be even close to what property is going for. There are market disparities all over the country - some make sense and some do not. To bad there is no easy way to level the playing field a bit

You know the three rules of Real Estate?

1. Location.

2. Location.

3. Location.

But about rifle prices - it's like this - I know what the rifle means to me. As long as I'm still breathing and able to shoot, it's not going down in price. If I didn't want it, it wouldn't be in my safe. As long as I do want it, you have to have enough money in the deal to make me think about something else I want instead. It's not a commodity to me.

I own a real, honest to God, Jungle Carbine and is "as new.". It will do the deer, pig or whatever as it is when I touch it off. I would not even consider f***ing it up. When my Remington 700 trigger went south I pulled it from the safe. It shoots great as is.

Remington fixed my trigger....... but at least once a deer season the Jungle Carbine gets its chance too. Like the man said the .303 has already taken game both large and small.

If I found a cheap bubba I might consider a 45-70 project though......

This was built from a bubbed No4, it`s a .45 ACP.........
