I got this off of whos2knos post but I was wondering if anyone owned one like this I really like the two toned stock is it some sort of laminate or just a different colored stain?
I wouldn't mind owning one of these
have any of you guys scoped an enfield?
is it an ok hunting rifle?
well I guess I asked enough questions

Freebyrd,

The No.I MkIII* Rifle you have pictured is not two-toned it is actually "wire wrapped" for Grenade launching.


Navy arms is selling them in "good" cond. for $69.95.


I have not scoped one, but the .303 Brit makes an excellent "Brush Gun" for Deer.

I went to a site called navy arms that my search engine brought up but I didn't see any

Freebyrd,

Its not on the website. It is in January 7th issue of Shotgun News


Here is what the add says:

These rare S.M.L.E.'s have the original wire wrapped reinforced stock for grenade launching. An unusual military collectable.
Condition: Good

Mod. No. RE13GL DEALER: $69.95

It does not say if the Rifle is C&R or not, but I can't see why it wouldn't be.

Phone orders: 1(800)669-NAVY

Hope this helps.

Zouave

I have never ordered from Navy Arms, and some people do not like doing business with them for some reason.

Edit: $70 for wire wrapped Enfields? Seems a little steep to me. I've seen them at shows for closer to $50. Of course, these may be in better condition than what I saw...
