I'm not the sharpest tac in the board when it come to some things, This being obvious when it comes to Enfields. I have a few nice examples and often look in the dealers racks to add another to the collection, only to find Enfields being painted Black "Gloss", go figure! Why would someone take a perfectly good rifle and paint it black, gloss no less. sometimes the prices are pretty cheap and sometimes not. Should I start looking at them harder? And if so, What do I look for?? Maybee take the paint off??? While I'm at it, what's with the funny wire wrap on the front of the older Mk3's. I've seen this done on some pretty old guns, in one case I saw one with the magazine cut off, I think it was a 1917 dated gun. I just can't figure it out. I know my Brit relatives have been known to do some pretty strange stuff, but wiring a gun or painting it with house paint, hum-SDHInformation
