Combining a DP Enfield, a Shooter and a Gunsmith ended up with catastrophic failure!

[Old Joe]

This forum has been a great help in putting my incident in prospective, not only pointing the fingers at others but pointing them at myself. I have changed the Topic name simply out of respect for the rifle itself which is not to blame. Meeting most of you and sensing how proud you are of the rifle has given me a real drive to pick up a proper one and squeaze some rounds off. The best way ofcourse for litigation advice is a lawyer from the state and country I am in.Do not mistake me for someone who rushes to court on the slightest whim,I have never sued anyone, however, if someone else is also responsible so be it. Maybe the Topic should have been labled Dumbass militerizes DP Enfield,other dumbass shoots it. Health wise I am healing nicely and the nerve pain has deminished significantly. I will certainly be back on the range sooner than later. I will certainly update this thread with any litigation results and an off picture of me actually shooting a Enfield and not loosing a body part. For those who truely wished me well I thank you and look foward to interacting with you when I start blasting away with a "Proper weapon"

Very
Sincerly..
