over the past week or so the lingering desire that i've had for an Enfield rifle has come to a head once more. and this time i MIGHT have a decent chance to act on it and get an example that i WANT at a decent price, rather than someting i'm willing to "settle for" at an OK price.
One of the options running around in my head at the moment is that of getting one of the Savage made No4 Mk1s that are going for around $229.00 before plus transfer fee, shipping and taxes, (so total of around $300, with a $35 transfer, $15 shipping and then taxes)
but i want to know a little more about these guns first.
are they built to the same exact standards as the British guns? are they somehow better?
is the parts interchangability still the same? in other words am i going to have to hunt down "savage enfield" parts just to make it run if something breaks, or will a part from BSA or Fazackerly(sp?) work just as well?
in general are there anythings i should be aware of??
thank you for your time and any input you can give me.
sincerely,
Doug (aka Detritus)
