Restoration in progress

[englishman_ca]

Only one of these rifles is original, that being the top one, an all matching 1896 Enfield MLE Mk.1 marked to 1CMR

Middle one is an 1893 Enfield MLM MkII, a parts gun. NZ marked.

Bottom one I assembled today. 1902 BSA MLE Mk.1* all matching marked to 5CMR

Remember to use linseed oil to prevent chaffing

Also, you're doing God's work with those restorations.
