Have in my possession what i'm told is a repair stand ( tripod ) that was used to hold the enfield rifles for service,looks complete and solid with the only modification being an easily removable mount for a spotting scope ( obviously was in use as a sight in rest ) ...I have no use for this and was wondering about value/interest ... PM for pics
Enfield repair stand ?
- Thread starter cjdawe

As Lou mentioned, it is likely an aiming rest, a training aid in for teaching recruits how to use the sights on the rifle.
An optical accessory was mounted on the rifle behind the rear sight which had a reflective glass which allowed both the instructor standing to the side and the recruit looking down the sights to see the sight picture and to adjust the rifle aim at the target.
I have a couple of these that I use for sighting in rifles, but not a shooting rest by any stretch of the imagination. One that I have is for the Lee Enfield, the other has been modified for mounting the FN rifle.
The spotting scope provision sounds interesting, not something that I have seen before. Could you post a pic?
Mine are both WWII dated and Canadian marked. Value? Lou is in the ballpark.

Ok, would you be so kind as to take pics before you ship it?
