Whats the best way to drill and tap it and which scope would be best for the caliber.:confused:
What would be the best camo paint and would the old finish need to be removed completely?
Can the 12 shot mag be cut down to make an easy carrying 5 shot?
Any information would help, thanks. :)
 
Why bother with screws, just weld it on there with a arc welder? It will be way more stable that way. Don't bother with camo paint, just let it rust outside for a month & cover it with tree branches, way more authentic that way. No need for another mag, just jam a piece of 2x5 in the bottom till it only hold 5. Don't forget to cut the stock & trim the barrel to just in front of the rear sight, no need to carry all that extra weight. Good huntin'! You are joking right?

Whoo hoo, I just got back from the post office with the 2A1, wow its a real beauty.:D
Every part matches 100% and the 3 letter rack number is still on the stock.:cool: I tried a few dummy rounds and it feeds perfectly.:p The bore is perfectly glassy mirror with 6 grooves and looks to be a right hand twist barrel. There is some small dings and a couple of small scuff marks that should rub out with linseed oil.:) And for those who thought I was thinking about touching it I was pullin' yer chain and would never deface any military rifles especially Enfield varieties.:D I am going to run a bit of boiled linseed oil on it to clean it up and see if some of the small scuffs come out.
PS, I still have a full wood set for a Longbranch 303 if anyone is looking, the price is listed but offers will be accepted.:cool: I will get some pics posted asap, John

I am glad 303 Carbine was just messing with our minds. I was thinking of hunting him down and circumcising him with a can opener, the old crank type.

Just think about it, there are people out there that do that s&#t to guns.

I had a new Swede 38 in the grease and a friend of mine talked me into selling it to his friend a school teacher. We were at the range one day and there was a guy shooting a rifle about 20 feet away. He stopped shooting and came over to me and asked me if I recognized the gun. It had the barrel cut and the stock butchered, he said he had problems with the gun shooting high so he was filing the front sight down. I stopped and had the hardest time to contain myself from choking him with a bandolier. That was the nicest 38 Swede I have ever had, and now when I sell a gun I try to find out what the person intends to do with it.
 
If it was shooting high then it required a taller front sight (not shorter).
I like swedes - but the rifle's are nice too :)
 
I once sold a mint 1937 Oberndorf 98K to a friend. 100% blue except for a little wear on the mag follower, with just about perfect wood and a excellent bore. The next time I saw it, the poor thing had been "sportyized" Not comes the fun part. This year Another friend I knew back in Chicago had got the gun back, found the original wood, and restored it!
