enfield Ishapore 2A
« on: May 10, 2010, 02:38:56 PM »
I recently bought a Indian Enfield which is similar to the ENFLD 1 MKIII. The rifle shoots a foot to the left. Before banging away with a hammer does anyone know who sells a front sight pusher which will work. A fella by the name of Stan Hope use to make them but he's out of business.

You could try Gun Parts or Brownells.  Every Indian Enfield I ever saw were rough guns, the .308 versions had the sights clearly off, amazing that they would issue a rifle like that.

I took it to a gunsmith who managed to push the front sight. The rifle with 7.62x51 shoots "fairly" accurate-3" groups at 100 yards. I enjoy collecting old military rifles and fixing them up.
