Hey /k/, just picked up this .303B 1920 Lee-Enfield today. Did I do alright?
No. Looks like complete shit, and it's actually probably really dangerous to shoot. The 1920s were plagued with barrel obstructions. Don't try to shoot it, OP. I value your life too much, I don't want you to get injured. Here, just send it to me and I'll try to fix it.

oh you :]
How much did you pay? Do serial numbers match? Stocks looks refinished, but not a bad job. Inter-war years are neat IMO. Nice rifle.
>>30586883
Yeah serial numbers match up. It was made in the Ishapore Rifle Factory. All the markings are correct.
>>30586883
Also, $450.

Me thinks thats not so good
>>30587120
How so? All those rifles were made with British machines and overseen by British factory managers. Literally no less quality control than the ones made in GB.
>>30586988
Fair enough for a full wood.

450 is sorta high for a SMLE. also Ishapores usually go for lower because no one wants a DESIGNATED SHOOTING RIFLE. Or at least from what I have seen
>>30586988
I think $450 is a little much considering the stock was refinished, but if you're happy that's fine.
>>30587120
Nothing wrong with pre-Independence Ishapore.
>>30587190
Probably. But it shoots well and I'll get a lot of use out of it so I'm not too discomforted.
