Came across this while hitting up the local shops...
I know very little about Enfields- and should have taken some more pics including one of the entire rifle/buttstock but didn't. Also, didn't check the bore as I was in a hurry. Dated 10/44, this is one of the earlier ones.
Stock looks to me to have been poorly refinished, buttstock looks like a replacement/finish mismatch anyway (again- sorry, no pic other than the partial).
Bolt matches, mag does not.
I've always wanted a Jungle Carbine, and they seem to be getting scarcer- though the wood on this one might rule it out. Enfields seem to me, to be the last of the reasonably priced milsurps (not sure why that is...).
Is this even worth a "go back", and maybe an offer?
