Finely Parts: Enfield 1 MKIII Ishapore

I've had a .303 Enfield 1 MKIII Ishapore barreled receiver and bolt in my gunsafe going on 2.3 or 3 years now. The cost of mostly the furniture, have kept me from putting it together as a nice shooter.

J&G just listed Enfield #1 MKIII 303 Drill Rifles from Ishapore De-milled rifles on their site. So may not have been the most logical or cost-effective thing to do, but I ordered one to use as a host for my barreled receiver and bolt; so I could get that project out of the way. I $160.00 is not too bad I guess to build a No 1 MkIII shooter. On the upside, I'll have a BUNCH of extra parts to sell.

I should have it on Monday, I'm really interested in what it looks like. Considered buying two to build a coffee table project where it would be embedded in the center of the table under the epoxy. But figured I had too many unfinished projects already.

Now if I could find a donor for my A2 Ishapore barreled receiver
