My new (to me!) 303 Brit custom rifle!

That thing is super cute. You wanted to sell it to me right?

How much ammo you got stashed?

Blind mag conversion. Hope it was done as elegantly as the stock and not along the lines of the front sight. Never owned an Enfield type, so no idea what work would go into it.

Hey, if you're happy, I'm happy.

The front sight is a puzzler, no indication one fell off, and the barrel is neatly crowned and blued.

The conversion is based on a Canadian project

and the stock is from Robert Wood Products. They include instructions on the conversion

We ever link up for bizness, I'll get you a couple boxes.

Can't have a dry rifle laying around.

That would be awesome!

I purchased a similar rifle here that was converted to 45ACP 1911 mags. Very sweet shooting rifle. This is my first Enfield rifle as well.

Pulled the action the other day, pretty clean work.

Oh my ... that sounds like a delight. Pics would be neato, should you feel so inclined. If not, no worries. Sounds like a cool rifle in the De Lisle, sans integral can.

Peep sight looks awesome.
That 5 rd ( 3rd?) mag seems odd. I have one that I assume to be a " hunting mag".

I think it's 5, I have a few rounds but haven't tried loading the mag full. As it sits it weighs in at +/- 6.5 lbs

Still at work, got off at 4:30 but you know how that goes sometimes. I'll see if I can take some when
I get home.
