Restored 1918 No1mk3*

[louthepou]

Hi everyone,

Just a typical No1Mk3* (Enfield arsenal, 1918), refurbed using mostly Springfield Sporters parts. I refinished this one for a gentleman living in the Saguenay / Lac-Saint-Jean region in Quebec. Forend bedding was relatively straight forward, with some shimming needed at the sear lugs and barrel channel sanding in a few spots.

Here, my oldest son is proudly posing with it. He's not shooting .303 Br. yet, and he'll admit he is looking forward to it but can wait a few years :)

Cheers!

Lou

Hi Lou,
That fine rifle looks good and it fits good to your son. Perhaps a nice Christmas present.....?

:thup:The wood also has that dark, aged linseed oil look of unrestored rifles. Just not as many "dinks"!
