GRI Ishapore 410 Questions
Well this is what I get for surfing GB while I'm supposed to be working. The auction was unintentionally won :ugh: Albeit at a good price :) I'm more familiar with British rifles and less familiar with these Ishy's, so a couple questions if you don't mind.
1944 GRI No.1 Mk III converted to .410 by RFI in 1949.

1) I have heard (through the internet - so obviously a reliable source) that these were produced in both full stock and cut stock configurations. I was actually able to find a google picture of another in the same exact configuration (sight protectors cut, stock cut exactly like mine, front swivel, etc.) so it makes me believe either this is true or the same importer was conducting this exact cut. Any thoughts?
2) If I need to restock this (I know it will cost more than the value of the gun), I realize I can get a full stock, but I'm wondering about the magazine cutout part - is that integral with the stock or independent?
3) Ishapore square nose cap or rounded?
Thanks all :)
