Hi Everyone
I'm new to the forum and have just bought my first SMLE, a 1917 Enfield III*. After a more leisurely examination than was possible at the gunsmiths, i've noticed a few incorrect details - the No.4 butt currently fitted being the most glaring thing. The other thing that seems a bit odd is the way the muzzle fits the nose cap. Rather than having a rounded profile that protrudes from the front face of the nose cap by 1/16" or so, the muzzle is absolutly flat and absolutely flush with nose cap. I'm beginning to think I might have bought something that's been sporterised in the past and then been 'restored'. If it's not correct it's a real shame as the bore is excellent - which is the main reason I bought the rifle... Thoughts, please? |
