    I'm going to an estate auction tomorrow that lists "Savage 303, Canada & British 303 calibers, India 308's, Columbia & Argentine 30-06 and 7x57, 1917 Japanese Navy 6.5..."I'm assuming the 303's & 308's are Enfield's. Any suggestions about what to look for or stay away from?

    I have an Ishapore Enfield that's missing the front trigger guard screw. Can anyone tell me what size it is?

    This may be a dumb question. I'm tearing down a Enfield to blast and finish. It's all apart except for the stinking screw on the right side of the peep sight. I've soaked it with kroil and heated it and the thing won't budge. Any ideas sure would be appreciated. Thanks, Ken

    I just picked up a Enfield No4 Mk1 Broad Arrow Marked, Ser # 14XXX Dated 1942. The side of the receiver by the gas port is marked
    ENG/UK. There is a U to the left of the ser # and what appears to be a M to the left of the date. It has 300/600 flip sight. Stamped under the barrel at the bayonet mount is what appears to be whpa. Leb. Oh.( Importer's Stamp ? ) Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

    You may get an answer. My answer is take it to a good gun show and just find the Enfield guy and hit or miss with thier screws.Andy

    The Indian Enfield is a No.1 Mk. III. The difference between the .303 British and 7.62 mm NATO versions is metalurgy of receiver and bolt.
