Thank you for those kind words Enfield 303T I have the Mosin 91/30 Sovieticon and she is a great rifle I also have the Enfield MK1 303 She and I have won a match together. I promise from now on I will think before I start shooting from the lip. Like I said it became an obsession with me, and that was wrong. Perhaps you're right It might be easier to buy one The yugoSKS is fairly cheap. warmest regards Paul M
