New Enfield, help indentify

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I recently came across this rifle and could not turn it away.  It currently has a synthetic stock that I want to replace, but do not know what to buy, as I am not sure what model Enfield purchased.

	BSA Shirley 1943 brought to the US pre-1968...obviously some kind of sporter stock. Safety missing.

	The markings on your rifle look very similar to this one: http://enfield-rifles.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7128 Maybe Bear will chime in with his opinion if he reads this.

	That's a lot of numbers and stamps, there looks like a faint number stamped below the "england" stamp as well. I think extra photos of the rifle are needed. Receiver side and barrel etc.
	It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

	There are a whole lot of stamps on that wrist and while it does have the BSA M47 I can't really make out much else. Maybe an FTR mark there? Hard to say for sure. Some better detail pictures of all stampings you find will be very helpful.
