My First Enfield

[huntingsocal]

I don't know a lick about Enfields but I'm a sucker for a purdy stock.

I wasn't looking for one but this piece was offered up from a great seller that I recently purchased another rifle from.

He was going to put it up on gunbroker but emailed me last night to see if I would be interested. I thought it over for about 5 seconds and it is on its way to me now.

Here's what I know so far.

Stamped matching numbers on the side of the receiver, the receiver wrist band, the bolt handle, the magazine, and the fore end on two places, one outside and one inside.

The maker's mark on the side of the receiver reads No5 MK1 ROF(F) 2/46 U8899. The bore is good with strong rifling.

Currently has Parker Hale 5C sight installed but original sight is included and from what I understand there are no permanent modifications made to attach the PH5C so I can put the original sight back on if I want to.

So now I need to get some ammo

Most definitely

Seller said he carried it for many years in the field hunting deer.

I plan on putting some boar in the freezer with this one

jungle carbine

I like the rear site, I would leave it on

[smle-man]

The sight is worth close to what the carbine is valued at. Nice combo!

Yeah I plan on leaving it on.

He also sent me an old ad for the site I thought was pretty neat.

Congrats, you got a beauty. Mine is kind of fugly:


These little guys kick like a mule! I think it's a toss up between the MK5 and the Mosin M44 as to which has more kick using milsurp ammo.

^ ah but I'm a sucker for ugly stocks too.

Dig those rack numbers

I was hoping to get an ugly stock with rack numbers on my Garand but alas it came with new CMP wood

True I sold my spare PH last year for $400

[huntingsocal]

holy moly, I had no idea. He said I could probably get $250 bucks if I put it up on ebay. Either way, I plan on leaving it on and if I ever take it off it will go into the safe

[croue]

Nice! Take my money!

Make sure you have a Pith Helmet when firing this .
