Dr_Scholl Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 If so, what year and model is it? I'm the proud owner of an Indian Ishapore 2A. It was built in 1965 and is chambered for 7.62x51 NATO. It's a great gun, perfect for deer and just target shooting on a nice afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 i own an 1863 enfield snider 3 bander, in .577. havent yet got any ammo for it, so dont know what it shoots like. dad owns a lee enfield L42, which is a enfield no4 with a heavy target barrel, scope rail with a walther scope on it. and re chambered to 7.62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedbradshaw Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 my grandad owns a Lee Enfield SMLE mark 4 in .303 . Its a deactivated rifle complete with certificates to say that it has seen action on the continent. Its got the odd mark on the stock (understandable really! ) but aside from that its in good condition for its age. i even have records to what regiment it was issued to. it would be nice to see if i could find who it was issued to but i bet its unlikely....i hope the chaps still alive and in a way i hope he shot a few krauts with it on his journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 8th ? I thought it came something like fourth. It was fantastic. Just came behind a few full auto rifles. Not bad for a semi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbruno Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 If so, what year and model is it? I'm the proud owner of an Indian Ishapore 2A. It was built in 1965 and is chambered for 7.62x51 NATO. It's a great gun, perfect for deer and just target shooting on a nice afternoon. just be very carefull firing modern 308 ammo out of it as the ishapore indian enfields dont hold the high pressures to well at all, we have well over a dozen enfields in my family all differnt kinds mostly Canadian made but also have a indian made one 2 British made ones and a Australian made one ps just be carefull with the ishapore maybe even get it checked out for head spacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
