Barrel welded to receiver on No.4

[Sapper740]

Someone has turned it into a "small ring" enfield by reducing the receiver ring to the torque shoulder diameter of the barrel.

There is not much material left - I would recommend scrapping it for parts.
Retain the receiver as a curio is it survives disassembly.

Fortunately my friend has accepted the fact that the rifle should be retired and although there might be a Lee Enfield oddity collector out there interested in such a rifle he wants to hold onto it as a keepsake as it was his father's rifle.
