Looking for a verdict on whether the SOG .22 Enfields are legit or maybe Khyber Pass repops.

Mine came in last night and I took a bunch of pictures this morning. Will probably not get around to cleaning it this week, as there is too much going on this weekend. It looks like a typical Indian .22 rebuild to me but I am not exactly a expert at Enfields. We shall see what the hive comes up with. The bore is pristine and overall I am satisfied with it. Can't wait to get it to the range, maybe week after next when I am on vacation. I got a email from SOG after I ordered saying they were out of the versions with No 4 style sights but when it arrived I was happily surprised to see a rear flip sight on it. Serials match on the receiver, bolt handle, nose cap and is stamped on the bottom of the forearm.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Not Khyber Pass at all, these have been talked about before on this forum and others. I think they are an Indian modification with a No.4 type sight, they cut a slot in the base to allow he bolt head to be removed.

I'm not sure that those Khyber tribesmen engaged a lot of small bore/.22" rifle practice. Mind you, now that I think about it, I'm not sure that they did/do a lot of full bore rifle practice either judging from our standard post-op debriefing of those newly returned from 'those places'

RFI No.2Mk.IV/IV* conversions are legit and interesting. I sold one last year that had a two groove barrel. The first I'd ever seen.

Thanks all. I appreciate the info.

Looks like a National Rifle Factory receiver. These Indian sight conversions have been little documented. Obviously they needed something to approximate the sighting on their SLRs.
