G'day. It looks like I might be getting my first 'old' gun. It is an Enfield falling block .303, with a couple of dates from the late 1800s. The sale includes a Modern .22lr bolt action. The owner wants $50.00 and the transfer costs will be about $100.00
The .303 is in poor condition. Some surface rust, the stock has holes and somebody began to cut off the fore grip. The action opens but the trigger wont release the firing pin.
It has been suggested that I free up the workings and re-barrel to another caliber. I think it might be a project that I could tinker with from time to time.
IT might take 4-6 weeks before I can pick it up, then I will post some pictures.
