Is the metallurgy as good as the "western" made rifles?

Are they safe to shoot (for the most part)?

Found several on gunbroker

Hello Gentlemen...I'm new here and hoping ya'll can help me with some info I need.
My first deer hunting rifle was a 303 British Enfield Jungle Carbine which I loved, but unfortuantely wasn't wise enough to hold onto it, trading it in towards the purchase of a 30-06, which I soon regretted. I always wanted to purchase another jungle carbine and recently bought one online assuming it was a .303, since I had never known of any in a different caliber. In fact when I contacted the seller, I referred to it as a .303 jungle carbine and was never corrected by the seller. Well as it turns out, its a Pakistan 7mm. She looks great considering the age, the bore is very good as is the metal/bluing. The only eyesore is the top of the butt pad, which is about 1/4" too short to cover the entire butt and is inletted into the butt, a 1/4" from the top of the butt. My research tells me the ammo for this rifle may very well be Remington .280, but I have not been able to find any literature/info that specifically says the Rem .280 ammo will in fact fit/shoot from this gun...Can anyone here help me with this matter of information ? I appreciate any and all feedback.

Thanks guys...Irish51
