    New Acquistion

    A lot of upgrading/rebuilding since manufacture, most important are the headspace and bore condition. What is the barrel date ? Look for a copy of Charles (Skip) Stratton's book Volume 1 Britishicon Enfield Riflesicon. easy to read.

    Your rifle would have looked like my BSA 1909 (well used example) but still with the '09 dated barrel and nice bore

    Here's photos of the barrel markings. Does the '35 indicate a 1935 barrel/refurb?
