he!!o.  I just got registered on this site so I thought I'd say "he!!o".  I looked for a "new member introductions" forums, but did not find one.  My apologies if I managed to miss it and this post is out of place. 

All that said, I recently acquired a 1942 Lee Enfield rifle that I know next to nothing about. I'm an enthusiast of all military firearms although I don't have many due to limited budget.  This rifle needs some TLC and was given to me by my brother-in-law.  Unfortunately, it has a sportorized foreend, but the buttstock appears to be original and correct for this rifle as far as I can tell.  Most of the other original parts appear to be there, including the front sight guard. 

I hope to learn about the Lee-Enfield from this site and hopfully get some help identifying exactly what rifle I have and find some resources for parts to get it put back to it's original military configuration.  

Looking forward to reading and learning here!

Thanks,
Rob

Welcome to the forum.  You came to the right place, there is a lot of knowledge here from our members.  Best way to learn about your particular rifle is to post pics, one of the entire rifle then close ups of the markings, action, etc.
