Michael,

Thanks for the info about Gipps, you are on the money, the gun is "utilitarian". Would he have done just the metal work? I don't know much about Enfield of this type but I assume this is not standard military wood, a reworked stock perhaps?


Joe, the scope rings do not have the pointed screw you mention, rather they are clamp ons, look like they work with a rail. I'll try unscrewing the the eyepiece and using some canned air to see if it's a dust bunny but it sure does look like a knot.

My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
