And these are probably all wrong I've got a 1917 enfield that Was given to me by my grandfather. I think it spent most of it's life in rough conditions, but it's still better than a 1903. there's a lot I'd like to do to this thing, but time & money are stopping me. well, not a lot, i...

The Expert comes home tomorrow. be patient, in a week or so I may have more for you guys NQS
