1918 NFR No.1 Mk III Enfield
I picked up this NRF earlier this year. Bubba had removed everything in front of the rear band to make it a "sporter". I have two DP rifles that I purchased for spare parts and used the fore-stock, front handguard and nose cap on the NRF. The DP's were a 1916 BSA and a 1918 SSA but came from India. I imagine using the stock from the DP is incorrect for the NRF but it will have to work until I can find a suitable replacement. You'll also notice a dried varnish like substance in and around the receiver. The previous owner didn't do a very good job of putting the varnish on and it's on the metal. I took 0000 Steel Wool to get it off the buttstock, but I'm having a little trouble getting it off the receiver.
I'd like your help on what should be replaced to make this as original as possible. From what I understand, the NRF's are not very common and I would like to have this as close as I can to the original configuration. The serial numbers match on the bolt, receiver and barrel but it appears the barrel was replaced in '37. These are the only pictures I have at the moment but would be more than happy to post any more, if requested. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
