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..Quote:

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.
