Billy, I am thinking about making an offer on an enfield to fix up because I already have a nice no.4 and want to do a project gun for the hell of it. A friend's dad has it and the bore is kinda ugly right now, but as you say hopefully that won't be an issue for just a fun restore/shooter to toss around. How did you try to clean yours? I can't tell if this one is rusted or just got crap in it.

Anyone know any other 20s-40s guns that are cheap to come across that I could restore wood and outer metal if this doesn't work out? (mausers, mosins, other enfields, anything really)
