It's being advertised as a "No1 MkIII" . No mention of it being an Indian made rifle. It also has the infamous "FR" stamp I assume? I have very little info, but the asking price is $350 what's your opinions? ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

That was what I was thinking. Any idea what the heck this thing is? It has an Ishy screw in the stock. Habib's hose of 1,000 delights & gunsmiffin' in the khyber pass?   ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

A rifle that was reworked in India. It could have beem made in country or just reworked in country. According
to Edwards (India's Enfield) The first FR program at Ishapore started
in 1922 (until 1932) and was restarted in 1941and continued into the
1970s. The complete scrubbing or receivers is associated with this
program starting in '41 (so well before independence). ------------- Always looking for military manuals, Dodge M37 items,books on Berlin Germany, old atlases ( before 1946) , military maps of Scotland. English and Canadian gun parts. |

With bugger screws the rifle may not have had the best care. ------------- Always looking for military manuals, Dodge M37 items,books on Berlin Germany, old atlases ( before 1946) , military maps of Scotland. English and Canadian gun parts. |
