This is on the EE. I am curious what it is. Says #4 mk1 in 308win.
I have heard that some enfields were done in 308, is this one of those that had been sperterized? Where is the typical metal band separating the two pc stock?The clip is missing, would a standard #4 303 clip work?

It's ust a No.4 Lee-Enfield rebarelled in .308 and fancied up with a new stock and sights. The ring that usually seperated the two-piece stock has been ground down a bit so as to fit inside the one-piece stock.

It is not one of the purpose built .308's, just another sporterized Lee-Enfield, only in a slightly more modern calibre.

Saw the ad, thought it was an interesting conversion.
The barrel has a Nock's Form flat, and there appear to be markings on the barrel breech and receiver ring. I suspect that the rifle was a DCRA/CAL 7.62mm conversion that has been extensively reworked into a sporting rifle.
I doubt very much that the butt socket has been ground down a bit. Looks as if has been completely removed, and tangs added to the receiver and trigger guard, to do a complete one piece stock conversion. Ellwood Epps used to do one piece conversions like this, years ago. There were others. A .303 magazine is useless for a .308 rifle. An L42 magazine could be fitted, or a Sterling.
