Hi All,
First post here.
Just wondering if you would buy this rifle, as a good accurate hunting rifle, based on these pics?

Nope !!!! I would not buy a rifle from just looking at the muzzle or the barrel only and not knowing what kind of rifle it was !!
But if your giving it away I will take it ....and be surprised at what it is after I open the package !!!

All I see is a barrel.....  where's the rest of it, or, for the untrained..... what combination of parts have been gathered together to form a 'RIFLE'

welcome
I'm going to  go out on  a limb and presume that you came to an enfield web site to get an opinion for a reason
 
If everything else about the rifle checks out ok and its priced according to condition.... I would not eliminate it as a choice based on the pictures you provided.
 
but let me be the first to say...."What do I know"  it bares repeating.

Is the bore nice and shiny or dull?
is the rifling square and sharp or rounded?
The bullet in the muzzle test is a very rough way of trying to measure wear. Not one I would use.
Whats the rest of the rifle like? Can you shoot it and see how it performs? Personally, if I wanted a shooter, I wouldn't buy a firearm without testing it first or at least getting a money back guarantee, unless its really cheap.
