Another orphan up for auction

[me2]

At the same auction site in the earlier thread about the Bubba'd Sniper, there is also a Bubba'd #1 Mk5 which has minimal metal damage and a $275 price as of now. Seller claims it has a very good bore. It appears to have the magazine cutoff yet. Rear sight has been messed with, says it's had white paint marks put on it. Another fun project but that necessary wood would be a real challenge!

Went for $450 was interested myself but by the time it would get back to the UK would not be cost effective, the hardest thing to find is the original woodwork which I would say is, as rare as rocking horse s**t.

Speaking of rocking horse s**t I am still looking for wood for a LEC Cavalry Carbine..

There was one advertised from a gunshop here - went something like "Bore 7/10, metalwork good, MkIII timber ex India $850"

Hmmm, nope!

Your not the only one enfield303t, but would be more than happy with a nose cap.

Guys, I toyed with idea of bidding myself but didnt need it sitting in a corner waiting for parts and it would poke a hole in my Savage #4 budget. My father passed away in 1977 and his rifles were left to me. Among them is a 1924 #1 Mk5 in excellent condition. Two would be nice but one is enough.
If a high end restorer bought it we probably wont hear about it again but if someone of limited Enfield knowledge has it we will not have to wait long to see him checking out the Enfield forums for parts and advice.
