Looks pretty good. My 91/30 patterns like a shotgun with Hungarian heavy ball, tightens up with modern commercial ammo, and gets as accurate as my Enfields and Mauser with handloads using good brass.

Enjoy your rifle... mine has yet to see any range time but I'm hoping to take it next week.
I paid $650 for it which isn't exactly cheap. Seems like any blonde Enfields are marketed as Irish Contract rifles and thus people assume if it's blonde it's rare and therefore demand a higher...
Good stuff, thanks for the info. Still surprising my rifle may have been destined for the RAF though. I'd think they'd be more interested in Stens, Sterlings, and Brens.
I recently purchased an 'Irish Contract' rifle knowing full well that it wasn't part of the Irish Contract series of rifles (says the interweb anyway). It's a Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk. II, marked as UF...
I'm not going to hold my breath. Marstar, as great as they are, has a recent track record of promising the moon and coming up short.
CGN, it's on the EE now but I believe the post has been edited some.
John from Marstar mentioned somewhere on CGN that they would be bringing in some Yugo 8mm surplus this summer.
This doesn't jive with me....
It was a Chinese military model from Milarm, spike bayonet. It wasn't a bad gun but the fit and finish was poor. The bolt hold open didn't always work and the finish blistered and peeled quite...
I considered one of the new imports, but I recalled getting rather bored with my Norinco SKS back when I had it. Might reconsider for something of nicer quality.
Good choice Andre, you'll have a...
How about these guys?

I use this stuff. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. :thup:
I was actually looking for pricing on a Buckmark and a Neos, and stumbled across these. There are no pictures, but if they're in full wood the pricing is on the lower end of average, especially for...
Beautiful!
It's a Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk. I* in .303 British. In that condition it'll fetch anywhere from $100 to $200 in the Canadian market, varying on location, time of year, and general mojo. If the numbers...
Excellent! :super:
I'm not really one to judge, I put a BLO finish on a Mosin Nagant. To each his own, and as long as you're happy.
I don't know what kind of Boiled Linseed Oil you're using, but the BLO finish I put on two of my rifles, as well at the finish that came standard on my Enfields, isn't anything like what you've...
Is it possible to do a few comparison shots between an AK and the 7.62x39 round and the StG?
Makes sense. :ugh:
In that case, your options are basically:
P&S Guns and Militaria (:thup:)
Ellwood Epps
Trade Ex
Marstar
Williams' Arms
Collector's Source
Milarm
I meant to say, are you looking for products in Canada or the United States.
US or Canada?
It starts with one...
You'll enjoy it. The .303 is a good round with a good range of available bullets, but brass life can only be maintained with neck sizing fired cases and even then your...
Springfield Sporters, BDL Ltd might have something but I don't see any listed.
