Ishapore 2A1

They pop up every now and then, I have one. I don't think many were imported into canada. Tones into the US, but very few here. They tend to be pretty beat up looking, although I think mine looks pretty good.
 
I got a '68 2A1 . It's the only one I've seen for sale...
I like it :evil:

They were pretty rough on these rifles. Most I've seen are beat up far worse than Timberlord's rifle. Anyone happen to know if the forestock is interchangeable with No1 MkIII*?

I imported a bunch of spare mags for them from the US and went through a load of BS for about 3 months till they cleared them, 10rd you see.
 
Having seen articles about the pressures of 7.62x51 and .303BR, and knowing the Indians get slagged for using low-tech Third World solutions to First World situations, I was pleased to read the article below. This guy called everyone's bluff. It is too easy to forget that Indians share borders with three populous neighbours who have been belligerant from time to time.

I loved that article (seen it before - but only via partial quotes :) - so thanks for the fuller version :cool:) ! :

Bull Dinky!!

I wrote to the author of the Enfield FAQ and asked if he could produce one of these "cast iron receivers". Just ONE!

I never heard back from him.

After lengthy emails with the "gunsmith" he admitted that he had no "before shooting and after shooting" data to determine the growth rate. He had just checked the head space of a couple of Indian made 2A and 2A1 rifles and found that the head space was a bit loose. He also went on to say that the head space of the rifles that he had checked had not increased after his initial measurement.

Head Space, indeed.

After listening to all of the cussin' and moanin' I figured I do a little research and find out what the real story was.
