What rifle is this???


BAR?

 

[Wrench]

That's not a BAR, the trigger guard is too round and the sights are way off. do you have a picture of the other side of the rifle?

 

[DrStranglove]

No.


(Why can I not just say "no?" Six characters?)

 

[ColeHorton]

At first glance, it looks like a M1917 Enfield:

Also known as the "Winchester," "Remington" and "Eddystone."

I don't know but I am surprised it stumped you! :lol

Hope all is well and always good to see you around Doc!

 

[Blaxmyth]

.303 P17, I think.

 

[JERRY]

looks like a bren lmg, hard to tell what mk. maybe a late mark 2?

Are you restoring it? any more pics?

 

[Kaylee]

No - Hoosier and Blaxmyth are right. Definitely an 1917 Enfield/Eddystone type bolt action, set in some kind of shop made metal stock. You can easily see the round receiver, the bolt release, the shallow fixed magazine, and the rear sight ears. (that rear sight assembly is pretty distinctive and hard to miss.)

 

[DrStranglove]

Yes, an Enfield. We captured it in Iraq my last trip there.

It's an old Eddystone reciever (M1927) with the finish stripped and some metal bolted onto it...weird.
