I still have my sporterized No.1 Mark 3 built in 1916. I used it for many years when I worked as a game warden. IMHO the .303 Enfield is one of the toughest military rifles ever made. Pehaps not as pretty, finely finished or as accurate as a Springfield or Mauser but it is still the most commonly used rifle here in Canada for deer, bear and moose hunting and gets the job done. I bought my first one in 1960 for $9.50. Practically everyone I know who hunts has at least one!
P.S. Eric, I'll see what I can find in the way of a "battle dress" for you.
