Hello everyone!
Well the darned Gun Broker done got me again!
This morning I won an auction for a great price, the gun is an Ishapore 2A1 which is an Indian-produced Lee-Enfield pattern rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. These are not rechambered guns, but were made in that caliber and where the last military Lee-Enfields to be produced and they were made starting in the 1960s and ending I believe in the '70s.
I am wondering if anyone out there has an advice for a first time Lee-Enfield owner. I am brand new to the platform, but I've wanted one for years now. I just love how cool they are, but the .303 Briitish chambering always warded me off. A couple years ago, I learned of the Ishapore 2A1s and it's very neat how they are in 7.62x51mm because the local Wal-Mart has ZQI 7.62x51mm NATO for a great price and that's what I shoot in my PTR-91.
So what do you guys know about these particular Indian rifles? What advice and/or tips can you recommend to someone brand new to this weapons system? Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
Thank you!
