Hello all, I'm a newbie here, I've been on Milsurpshooter.net and Gunboards for a number of years but just found this site and was very happy to do so. Looking to learn even more about a hobbie that has become so much a part of my life my wife might call it an obsession.

Hi All:
New to this forum, looking for production date info on a newly acquired MK III*, Enfield, 1918, SN E742. I could also use some input on level of restoration for this old warrior. It appears to be intact, save bayonet (buyer had it but wanted $200 for it!), with matching numbers on receiver, bolt, nosecap and stock just aft of the nosecap. Lots of dings and bruises and even the shallow sanding hollow on the foreend where they smoothed out the cutout for the volley sight. The bore is in super shape with strong rifling and no apparent erosion. Well cared for with no rust. I'm thinking just denatured alcohol to remove some of the grime from the stock. The seller said he hasn't shot it in a year or two but included 18 rounds of 150 grain Wolf ammo! To the local gunsmith soon for a quick checkout and then to the range. Will post pictures when I figure how.

Hi to all!
I just found this site while looking for a pistol in the Classifieds and it looks like a great place to lounge and learn.
Oldest milsurp is my GrandDad's Trapdoor which I am just getting in working order for deer hunting this year. That should put a different feel to the hunt, ay?

I found your site while researching for an M1 and 1903 build for CMP Service Rifle matches and general research on my other toys. Then I started looking at the threads for Smith Corona, Springfields and when I saw your Knowledge Library I just had to join.

I am looking forward to picking brains for help, not in just collecting and restoration, but for anything that will let me get these oldtimers back up and running again better than before.

Quals with an M4 vs. doing the same in a Service Rifle Match with an 03 or an M1, way cooler.

Well hear I am. Like a lot of people it appears I found this site while researching a rifle I am intending to buy. An Enfield No 4 Mk2 Sniper. I Like what I've seen so far plenty of interesting posts and other info. See you around the traps. Shackle.
