Found one in tulsa for $65. Bubba got ahold on it and cut the forarm and removed the hand guard. Should i buy it anyway? Oh the butstock was loose
Toney
There should be some way to tighten it. We have two enfields that someone got a hold of and did the same thing. The one is a very nice rifle and alot of people that come into our gun shop think that it is factory.
The other one is not so nice. The stock is a little rough and the bore is .318" and the groove is .321". it came with the nicer sight.

What caliber Toney? I just found an article at www.surplusrifle.com about 49/56 being "rechambered" to 308 by merely shortening the barrel n handguard. This doesn't work for us handloader as the chamber is still too large for 308 and stresses the cases a lot.

If I found one in original chambering and good price I would buy it. i like the short action, separate stock/forearm, almost wildcat caliber, etc... :smile:

It's a 7.5 they had ammo every where at the gun show for around $8 just did'nt have the ammo i went for 7.5 swiss
.............I've got one. I converted it to 45-70. Helluva rifle!
.............Buckshot
Bought it today, it's got a tang saftey? don;t think it was a bubba job after all. On the barrel it got stamped SANTA FE MODLE 1949 GOLDEN STATE ARMS CORP PASADENA CALIF
The butstock tightened with a 1/2 turn of the screw cool!!! The barrel looks good, a few pits but you can still see machine markes in it.
Need ammo!!!
