Item Description: Translate description
serial #5679, 303 British, 20 3/4'' barrel with a bright very fine bore showing light oxidation in the grooves and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1897-dated carbine retain about 80-85% arsenal refurbished rust blue showing high edge wear, areas toning to gray-brown patina under bright light and a small spot of old moderate pitting on the dust cover and edge of magazine cutoff. All original markings remain intact and strong showing nice socket markings and the carbine is stamped with opposing broad arrow out-of-service stamps, later British commercial export proofs and small "ENGLAND" import mark on the socket. The smooth walnut stocks rate about very good plus showing honest service wear with overall moderate dings and various well-executed arsenal repairs at the nose, one small repair to a crack at the handguard nose having come undone from the years. The right side of the buttstock retains a softened but legible Enfield cartouche and the disc retains fine markings showing ''12. '04 / R.I.C / 7338''. The rear sight leaf is numbered ''6764'', the rear sling swivel is missing and the magazine is a later 10-round variant numbered ''57835L''. The bolt and barrel are matching the receiver, the ''5'' on the bolt struck over another digit but obviously done by the arsenal, and the action seems to function well mechanically. A very good example of these desirable and interesting Enfield carbines. (13B12000-11) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
