| Yuma. To be totally honest, I'm a huge fan of the Mannlicher full wood stock. If I saw that sporterized for sale, I would snap it up. (Is it for sale?) |

you know - i try to be as tollerant as i can be here , i am a bit oppinionated and although my poilitical views are right of most , i believe i can seemingly find some common ground in firearms most of the time , i do not like the international stock or the thumbhole on sported enfield rifles only because there are so many well done sported rifles of other persuasions that look so much better , we have the enfield versions that have their own great look , most do not need improving on , but alas that is my thinking , ill stuff it at this point , i have seen a lot of nicely sported enfields here and elsewhere and said so , i give credit when due , im not inclined on these sorry , just me liking them as made

A Square,I can see your opinion without a problem, whereas on the other hand, I like Mannlicher stocked rifles......if done properly.....most look very clubbish,especially on an Enfield and the pistol grips are usually too large and look out of place. This particular one struck me as well proportioned, especially with the original style grip. Sorry Honkytonk, I know nothing about this rifle other than I found it while surfing the net. I'm assuming this is the thread to put sporterised or modified rifles ?? I totally agree with your dislike of thumbhole stocks, other than a target rifle, I think they are ugly and would be very awkward to use in the field. Obviously these are my personal opinions and well.....to each their own.  Roger ------------- roger |

I'm Australian, and I loved the movie but I thought " no bloke in the 'territory would use a stock like that! "....my wife hates it when I pick movie rifles to bits.  Roger ------------- roger |

| Yuma, know problem. I saw a You Tube video of an American gentleman with a similar stock on his Enfield, although it appeared synthetic. I tried to find the source but couldn't. Maybe a custom? I really like sporters as they keep Enfields in the field hunting. I have several and must admit the one in your picture is very nice. I totally understand and respect members that are purists,and that's why, in my opinion, this is such a great forum. |

The problem with the thumbhole above, (or hand -hole!) is that its clumsy and would be Very clumsy to use if fast use was required. Beats me on how folks can "Improve" things to the point of being useless.... Mind, I think I like it better than the clunky -looking rifle in the OP. |

Roger I like the overall look of it. That said I also like original rifles better but if it had to be changed at least it was done well and looks good to me. To each there own. I also like the look of a Vickers Machine Gun. Also have a Great (my thoughts) 17hmr rifle with a thumbhole multi colored plywood stock. Sometimes one has to make lemonade if one is given bruised lemons. Later 42rocker |

| The OP's rifle is extremely well done, even down to the correct angle on the toe of the butt pad in keeping with the toe line of the buttstock instead of flat as so many are. Along with some tasteful checkering. It only needs a 5 round magazine to even out the overall lines. A VERY nice rifle indeed. |

To be honest no Enfield sporters look really good, Lee Speeds are OK but I'd rather hunt with a Mauser or Mauser derived rifle. ------------- Have a Nice Day If already having a nice day please disregard |

| yes it is a remington nylon 66 below a ruger 10/22 international , then a winchester windermusket US marked 22 trainer and a stevens 414 22 short only target rifle , my other passion is 22s , i have twice as many of those as i do enfields/webleys , but this is my first go-to site , the 22 site is second |

This is not a biased answer because I made the one under the full wood one. Done right,a sporterized Enfield can in fact look as good or a tad better then its original counterpart.

| If you're asking about mine,no,it is not. It is a No4Mk2 with the whole top of the receiver cut off and a Parker Hale scope mount,base,and rings installed. The barrel is from a No1. The front and rear sights came from a Remington 700. The stock set came from Bishop stocks,85% inletted. The recoil pad is a fully adjustable Morgan. The magazine is a brand new flush mount five round. The scope is a Nikko Stirling 6-18×50... |

...sorry gentlemen, I'm a bit behind on this post, been in hospital ( all good now )....Englishman, I too love those officers models, the rifle I posted is almost a stylised version of that.....funnily enough I have also always loved those " planet of the apes " rifles...explains a lot !!! As someone has already said,the great thing about this forum is our love of this particular firearm in whatever its preferred form. Merry Christmas gentlemen and the best for the new year. Roger ....A square 10, I too have a passion for single shot 22's.... ------------- roger |
