I have a Ishapor Enfield .308 caliber. Is it the same design as the Lee Enfields? Can I get an instruction book on the MK4 and use it to take this one apart to clean? It's still got the cosmoline on it and I need to do a complete tear down on it.
 
It is very close to an SMLE. I won't say that they are the exact same, but from what I have seen they are damn close. I do know that a .303 SMLE mag will fit an Ishapore 308, and that the mechanisms on them look very similar. As I said, I don't know about actual parts compatiblity, but I would look for an SMLE manual over a No. 4 manual.
 
An Ishy is a variant of the No.1, Mk III and; I believe; is identified as a No.1, Mk III 2A. The magazine is unique to this weapon and I do not believe that a No. 4 .303 magazine would fit nor operate.
