Is that the same rifle as what people called a " British .303" ?Last buck I shot was with this 1942 Enfield No4 Mk1 .303

Its getting tough these days to find one that still has the mum intact.I shot at my first deer with a 6.5 Arisaka my Dad brought home from WWII. A relative re-appropriated it at some point. It was in very nice condition, and was complete with the mum still intact. I'm watching GB and I'll pick one up at some point. Oh yeah, that deer made it to safety and I never did kill a deer with it.
My little M1 carbine came from Kmart on Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs in the early 70’s.I remember in the late 60's, early 70's when you could go into Kmart and they had big cardboard barrels full of them, stuffed in muzzle down. German and Jap 7 and 8 mm. Best I remember they were $15-20. Plenty of cheap ammo to go with them. Wished I'd bought a few.
Yep a lot of them got sporterized. Years ago they were dirt cheap so folks just cut the stocks down for hunting rifles. Nobody ever imagined they would be worth anything.Got a 303 from a friend this year. It's a 303 made in the US unfortunately it was sporterized as they call it but had to have it. My grandfather in law was a sharp shooter in WW2 and he always talked about his 303 said he wouldn't want any other gun. So when my buddy said he had one he wanted to sell I jumped on it.
