    Very nice
    I like original Enfields.

    I picked up a nice Irish contract just out of grease a little while back.
    I am still looking for a bayonet for it to complete the package

    Agree with you, give me a K98 any day, but then again each to their own, P14s are great for building customs on, really strong action. I can't see what people see in AKs and ARs!

    BECAUSE they are the reason you are able enjoy your freedom and do wot ever you want with out speaking german and saluting hitler. not only that there has been a whole shitload of deer taken in this nation of ours with the puss 303, cut down lee enfield. if you rip the guts out of one then mount it on the wall it looks pretty good tho. mind you only do it to one or your house will end up looking like an RSA.

    Iv got two, with one I shot my first deer and goat and pig. Even way back then it was on its third barrel and it was stuffed.
    My grandfather then my father shot untold deer with it for tails,skins and meat.
    The action is that worn you can move the bolt forward and back 1-2mm.
    Recently inherited a tidyish one from an uncle and scored a new in grease barrel for it.
    When I get it up and going again its coming hunting till I get something with it
