Am I the only mother fucker who cant fathom why sporterizing is even a thing?
>Its to reduce weight
Bitch you are sitting in either a truck or a deer stand watching a feeder so you can execute a deer, the fuck do you need to reduce weight for

Thanks, would it be expensive to restore it for a novice?

>>32546126
needs a good wash and a new stock, its not ~too~ expensive

>>32546101
>>32546105
might be WWI, i can't tell if that's a 1 or a 4 in 19x5. either way that used to be a SMLE, No. 1 Mk 3*.

I found this on internet, it is written " 1942 " like on mine

>>32546125
Sporterizing isn't a recent phenomenon.

>>32546126
wtf happened to the safety selector? will it dry-fire?

>>32546215
i am highly aware of that, its just the fact its still a thing is beyond me

>>32546125

because full length stocks were a meme

>>32546244
you take that back, the SMLE is one of the ugliest beautiful guns out there.

>>32546220

Several parts are missing, missing screws.

>>32546179

Thanks a lot

Not really out of the ordinary

You can find these in reasonable to good shape for between $250 and $500, keep that in mind before you go crazy trying to restore this thing.

Where I live, you must first have a license before you can buy a weapon.

License = 250 $ / year

And apparently it's $ 1000 for a good lee enfield in france.

>>32546292
ah, that sucks. good luck with it. you'll probably want this, too: https://www.amazon.com/British-303-Do-Everything-Manual/dp/B003DK7XFO

Back in the day it was just a thing to do.

There were more of these rifles around than anyone knew what to do with, nobody even thought about them drying up. You sporterized it partially to have a cheap, fairly light hunting gun and partially because it was a fun project and pretty simple to do.

>>32546292
You are aware that illegally transfering or detaining a category C weapon is an offence that is punished by 2 years of prison and a fine of 30.000€?

>>32546793
lol

>>32546088
Sporterized enfield. Worth maybe $100.

>>32546586
>the days of cheap milsurp will never come back
Fuck the Hughes amendment and fuck import laws

>>32546926
At this point our import laws don't even really matter. Most of the surplus out there is gone, or going to be destroyed rather than sold.

>>32546235
that is because you are a brain damaged moron who believes that the gun market was born in 2004 and has been exactly the same throughout history, and that everything that is old and valuable today was never new and worth pennies when the market was flooded with them.
