he!!o!
While I've had any number of Enfields through my books as a FFL/SOT, I never kept one for myself. Then yesterday I received a drill rifle from J&G Sales through my C&R. I intend to modify this rifle into a copy of the De Lisle. But before I do anything, I am here to learn more about the rifle.

I went up to J&G a few months back to check on some DP'd No1Mk111 rifles they had advertised. It was basically a crate of rust with bits of splintered wood tossed in. The one No4Mk1 they had was in fair condition but the $955.00 sale tag left little to desire. Tried to work the price down but the kid behind the counter was absolutely adamant that what I was looking at was the extremely rare Lee Enfield sniper rifle even though it did not have the scope, scope mount, or scope pads or any T, TR, or S stamps from Holland and Holland anywhere on the rifle.
Howdy from Phoenix Arizona!

Thank you, everybody!
I have no idea who my small Ls show as exclamation points. Way to look like a bot!
Goosic, I used to live in Gold Canyon AZ. J&G is totally hit and miss; they either have amazing or awful deals. At least they don't give folks with C&Rs difficulties like many other distributor-dealers. I'll post about the process once it begins. But for now, I need to learn the basics. |

Its a glitch in the parser for "naughty words" even if they aren't. You write "introduction word", I'm new here, let me introduce myself". , but detects "Hades" inside it & flags the LL. For example.Then it becomes He(LL)o but blocked to He!!o. |

Thank you for the clarification! I spent a good half hour trying to figure out why my typing was all screwed up, if I was doing something wrong, etc.
