Interesting Enfield ConD 11*

[RCS]

This Lee Enfield was found at a remote gun show some years ago, the price was $45 and my friend bought it for me as he said the rear hand guard alone was worth the price. I had a few talks with the late Skip Stratton about this rifle and he thought it might have been a Mark 1 action body that was used and not a conversion from an early rifle ?

A few interesting features, this rifle still has the barleycorn front sight and the barrel is without the SC or HV stamps. The bore is excellent. The magazine is the second variation.
The butt stock has been modified for the later sling swivel. The rear sight is low being 1 mm high. I believe this rifle is chambered for the Mark V1 cartridge ? Not much is matching numbers.

Any opinions would be welcome, RobertAttachment 99855Attachment 99856Attachment 99857Attachment 99858Attachment 99859Attachment 99860Attachment 99861Attachment 99862Attachment 99863
