Need help with identifying this rifle!

It is a K-88 carbine . The stock has been messed with . The bolt is not original , carbines do not have flat bottom bolt knobs , they have spoon handles . Turkey icon

never got any K-88's . K-88's never had the 05 modification , so it will not have a clip guide , notched receiver or magazine modifications . The S ammo bullet was not .323 . A photo of the model type stamping on the left side of the receiver [ Kar-88 or Gew-88 ] will tell if it was an original carbine or made up from parts . A photo of the makers mark on the top of the receiver will also help .

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Wow lots of good info! Thanks so much everyone! He did get one of those clips with it! Pic attached. So does this make it a KAR 88 for sure? I'll try and get my father to send me some better pics of the receiver to see if that can help.

You realize there's two different types of ammo in that clip do you? Worth having a second look...
