1917 Mk III* (* struck out)

[Bear43]

I don't post here much but I want to change that, so I am starting with this. This rifle was one my dad had bought at a gun show years ago for $150. It had cut down wood but still had a functioning windage rear sight as well as installed cut-off. It is a 1917 Enfield-built Mk III* with the * struck out. My dad had me restore it which I did with bits bought from Springfield Sporters. It is in an Indian DP stock set and some other Indian marked bits, but the cut-off and rear sight came with the rifle. The cut-off works well as does the windage adjustable sight. The bolt does match the receiver, the barrel is 1917 dated and the rifle shoots quite well. A couple years ago my dad sold off most of his collection but I had first pick and chose this one as well as a few other rifles. It's not perfect but it is a decent representation. The last picture is just a shot of the windage knob in relation to the offset rear sight protector for those new people who may wonder why it was offset.
