A 1916 project....

[Bear43]

I don't post a lot on here but I do a lot of lurking around. I have been interested in Enfields for a long time, since I was a teenager. My favorites are the No 1's. I also have a penchant for mechanical things, assembling things from parts and coming up with a functioning item. One sad thing you see in the US all the time is that people strip down Enfields for the simple reason that the parts are worth more than the whole rifle. So, I take it upon myself to spend my winters putting things right as best I can. Yes, I know these rifles will be worthless bitsers in the end, but the satisfaction of putting one back together is worth it to me. Anyway, here is a pic of one of my projects. A 1916 BSA Mk III* body I am planning to build up. I have been getting parts at gun shows and online auctions. I am hoping to make this rifle a reality by spring. Just need a few more bits....
