Thank youPattern 14 Enfield WW1 period. Not a US M1917 based on Cdn. proofs
Honestly he could have .no barrel? maybe Grand dad was going to build a custom rifle in a different caliber than .303?
Would love to.Be cool if you finished the sporting rifle he was aiming to build. Finish the receiver pretty, rebarrel it and find a nice stock. Then bag you a nice deer in his memory
