Cut down? 2A1 Enfield

I’ve looked into these before and here is a brief synopsis; these were not factory modded or originally built, this configuration was never used by the Indians.  What I’d read is that a bunch of these were imported by Gibbs, which was bought by Navy Arms.  Some of the rifles had bad barrels/rifling at the muzzle end.  Instead of scrapping the rifles, they cut the barrels to a shorter length (19.2”) and built into either this mod (Tanker/Bulldog) or the Jungle Carbine style.  The Tanker/Bulldog had a piece cut out of the fore stock just forward of the outer band.  The remaining pieces were glued together.  The had a habit of launching the nose cap down range.

I bought my 2A1 with the intention of attempting this mod sometime down the road.  Even picked up a couple of spare barrels.  My gunsmith abilities are up to it, but not my woodworking skills.

Like I said, this info came from the internet so it must be true😛.
