It's really great that we've worked that out.....Confused

.....now....
 
Do you think I should put the web sling on my rifle... and does anyone know how to shim the front mount on an S+K scope? LOL

Hi Flanker!
web sling on a hunting rifle? That is maybe not stylish enough and shows the  army provenience. save the web sling for an authentic LE and use a leather sling on the conversion. Not that the function is altered, but hunting is a lot about style...!
 
Have a good day

Web sling on a sporter? Why not. As long as you don't mind using a hasty sling, or just use it as a carry  strap it should work just fine.

OK I thought that the topic of image distortion & upload sizing was relevant (& big) enough to rate its own thread. So I split this thread into 2 parts, leaving the original "Gee, look at my nice sporting rifle" stuff here & relocating the image & upload related stuff to its own thread located in the Info for new Enfield owners sub forum at the link below.
Sorry if it looks a bit choppy in here because every post about resizing or uploadi g was reloacetd so ther emight be a reference to something posted earlier & now relocated. I think overall this is a better way to discuss both topics as its stickied in the new guy info section where (hopefully) new guys will go & read before posting here.

llaszloboehm, what kind of texturing or checkering do you have on the wrist and forearm?

I've seen that before on a Russian shotgun. It's not common in the UK.

Hi!
 
its german made, no idea why or by whom. In this country Enfields are not common, exept with Service Gun Shoting Federation. For those who understand a bit german language, I recomend www.egun.de
Thats a kind of ebay for sporting goods, fishing , hunting, reloading, stuff like this
I´ve auctionated the rifle there for 90 Euros in new, unshot, mint condition.

There is a similar punched form in the U.S, but its not common. IIRC Brownells sells a "Stippling Punch" to create a similar effect.

The hardest part would be the muzzzle end of the barrel, you'd have to remove the front sight & ramp & then fit a #5 flash hider/bayonet lug.
It looks like everything else is swapping wood & getting a 10-round mag.
