1915 NoI MkIII Make Over

As stated in my other post I have parts on the way from Prestigious, Numrich and a couple UK vendors.

 Upper hand guard arrived and has been fitted, nose cap and spring clip attached and is currently drinking lots of linseed oil, it`ll take a lot to get it to the same state as the rest of the rifle.

Next to arrive will be a nose cap and forward guard band from Numrich. The replacement nose cap will have the bayonet boss, lug and swivel mount removed, as this being a target rifle build there`s no need for such accoutrements.

Seems like a lot of work just to mount a target sight....,  I`m retired with nothing better to do.

I will post pics as this progresses.

I started with my 1915 enfield lock  NoI MkIII (no star) was rebarreled in 1937, has sold out of service marks but no ftr. this rifle still had its volley`s and cut off. Peep sight was my best bet to get some use out of it, I like shooting my guns and the WWWI battle sights on these are not conducive to my eyes, peeps are much better, scopes best. So when finished will resemble a NoI MkV 1920`s trials rifle.

Should also note this rifle has Non scrubbed New Zealand ownership marks along with a second serial number, the rifle is all matching. Like NZ got the rifle then put there own serial number

on it without striking out the original?

I like the idea.

I wonder if that's what those scarce Match modded No1's were at Bisley?

I always assumed it was some custom rig, but maybe it was that simple!

I like it.

if you're gong to have a spare nose cap why not go the whole hog & put a target front site (globe) on it too?
