Enfield .303, Model 3
Enfield .303, Model 4

Im a bit confused by this? Are you refering to a No 4? And if so what is the model 3? Take the 1903, theyre great.

My guess is a No.4 mkI and No.1 MkIII. I would agree with the A3 for use as a hunting rifle.

Sorry about that. I'll write the markings down and repost. New to this milsurp stuff. I was just going by what my friend had listed them as. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I have. This sure is different from buying a gun from walmart and reading the label, isn't it?

And sorry, NRA, I think I'll be hanging on to the Krag for a while. It's a beauty. Out of all of them, it's in the best condition.

Harlan, I suppose I'll be digging around for info about no-drilling-required scope mounts and "C" stocks. Interestingly, the sporter stock that's on it is a lefty, but my friend was right-handed. He had lots of left-handed holsters for the handguns, too. His family and I were trying to figure that out. There's still a lot we're learning about him.

Thanks guys for the suggestions so far. I'll be reposting the info about the .303s

It is not a matter of being left or right handed. It is a matter of eye dominance, is the right or left eye the one that you shoot with? That is the reason that some people are right handed but shoot left handed.
