This is a series of photos I've taken over the last couple days while cleaning up some old rifles. The khyber pass rifle is my father-in-laws and the .303 I used for comparison is mine.
It was a good enough copy visually that hanging on the wall we never noticed the difference, Only once I noticed the upside down ENFIELD on the receiver I started to look at the rest of it and compare.
The internals were crudely made but seem functional, bolt shows traces of brass so its been fired at some point. Trigger pull measures in at a whopping 18.5lbs
If anyone knows a way to post a whole album without it being a colossal pain the arse let me know, till then you get an imgur link!

I've got a little Kyhber pass Martini 303 carbine. One of the big giveaways on mine is the fact that "Nitro Proved" is stamped on the barrel, but all the letters are backwards.
 
the older ones were easy to spot don't know now they have been getting better with time. id deactivate them just to be one the safe side you may not fire it but who knows who will get their hands on it later on
 
I used to own a Khyber Snider rifle; it was indistinguishable in quality and in appearance, from a british one other that the pecular writing on the rear sight and the lack of british proofs

Oh and I forgot to mention the barrel is only properly rifled for about 1/3 of the length, after that it just tapers off to a shadow towards the muzzle.
