Hey guys,
I'm looking at purcashing my first mil-surplus rifle. I have come across a "WW2 British enfield 303 bolt action,peep sights, sporterized stock, 10 shot mag". I have been told it is 1941 production and has a "thick black paint-like coating on the barrel".
Price is $150 and have been told the action is smooth and it's quite accurate.
Since it has been sporterized and has paint-like coating on the barrel, I realize it won't be a collectors piece.
Is this a good enough of a rifle/deal where I could buy it, strip the metal down and re-blue it for a decent cheap rifle?
Thanks!
