Well, I walked into the Pawn Shop...

She is a little rusty around the mag and muzzle, but it should rub out. Looks to be a reburb... I've wanted one since I was a kid but never bought one. $250 OTD...

[ltorlo64]

Did you walk out with that or are the police still chasing you?

BTW, I didn't think there were any more assault rifles available.

[Bluntforce]

Congrats, I've always wanted one also.

[Schuetzenman]

Nice Enfield Carbine. Only down side is going to be finding the ammo for it.

[El Laton Caliente]

I'm delayed... I'll check tomorrow... it may be Wens before I get it...

How in all of "Texas" can you be delayed?

[El Laton Caliente]

Never got a CCW... and don't have a C&R...

Never figured I needed permission for a God given right... Guess I should just to not deal with this shit...

I also have bought mostly private lately... and have not been delayed in maybe 4-5-6 years...

The best part of CCW is the out the door with a new toy.

Sportsman's guide has S&B and Privi for +/-$15.00/box...

Doubt I'll shoot it much. May hunt pigs with it...

[El Laton Caliente]

These are .310 bore aren't they? I was thinking of ordering some bullets.

[El Laton Caliente]

Oh, it is marked 1945...

[slamfire51]

I've always bought .311 150 gr. when I reloaded for the 303.

[Schuetzenman]

.311 as Slamfire said is the proper diameter for the Enfields.

[Dr. Gonzo GED]

Forget the complimentary safety lock, I hope they give you ear plugs with that thing!

Nice carbine, BTW. :thumbsup:

[El Laton Caliente]

I've always bought .311 150 gr. when I reloaded for the 303.

Most of the ammo I'm seeing on line is the 180 grain. Think I'll buy a 200 lot of ammo and a few hundred bullets... That should do me. I'll likely use it where most use a lever gun around here...

ELC, I failed to mention the No.5 is a beaut. Congrats.
I bought one at Big K many years ago out of a barrel for $40.
I miss those days.

I tried to talk my father into letting me have a No 5 when I was 8 or 10 years old. IIRC, I had about $15 and it was in the $20/$25 barrel at Woolco's Department store. It was what started the interest in military arms. Now 40 years later I buy one at 10x what it was back then...

[AK again]

I just bought a "#5" for my dad. $50.00 for helping a friend sort through some rifles that dropped into his lap.

And I was accused of theft at $250!!!

[binky59]

Nice rifle! I have a seller on Armslist thinking of selling me his 1894 winchester 30-30
Wood is rough, metal is worn, just what I'm looking for. I need a project gun to start
up my sons interest in working on firearms.
Good luck, pics when you finish?

[El Laton Caliente]

I'm thinking at this point all I need to do is a detail cleaning and try it out... Every thing seems in order and working, I just need to get it in the shop and check it in detail...

I am thinking strippers, pouches and a repro bayo...

[AK again]

This one's seen better days, definitely not an original, and some screwball sunk a Coast Guard medallion of some sort into the buttstock. BUT, dad's got a ton of good reloaded .303 ammo and hasn't had a beater rifle in a long time. Worst case scenario, he'll have something to complain about and sell eventually.
Yours looks pretty good, ELC!

[slamfire51]

Just found this pic of a few years ago.
I bought it in the condition you see.
It's been refurbed by some one for sure.

303 reloads.

That is still a hell of a deal... I checked Numrich, you would be surprised how easy it might be to restore...

[El Laton Caliente]

Slam, is that 7.5" from receiver to barrel band... looks longer... I think you may have a No. 4 to No. 5 conversion....

Could be.
No way to verify since I sold it.

[El Laton Caliente]

Bought two boxes of S&B .303 on the way home with the rifle. One box 150 SP, one box 180 FMJ and picked up a Winchester 180 SP the day I bought the rifle. The S&B was $21/Box and the Winchester was $39...

[AK again]

When are you going to get some rounds through it?

[El Laton Caliente]

Today... when the temp is >40º

lol...

[El Laton Caliente]

Just looking at the bore & chamber... dust and sharp, shiny rifling... looks hardly fired.

[El Laton Caliente]

OK, I suck... Peep site 100 yards, one in the 8 ring, three more on paper and two on the box out of six.

I didn't think it kicked bad at all... The 180 pushed a little more than the 150... I think I'll stick with 150 for reloads if they group ok...

My buddy in his thirties held the site wrong and grouped dirt about 1' above the target... LMAO!

I liked it... might have to get a #4...
