Are there any Rangers, or weapons techs who support them on the forum? (Or decision-makers who procure for them, I guess)
This page http://www.sfu.ca/casr/mp-enfield.htm became a lot more interesting to me when my dad gave me his old enfield. I wonder what the experts think of reconditioning these rifles. My own has rarely been fired but much neglected (remember when rifles just hung there on the wall and nobody thought it strange).
Given that 7.62 is army standard and .303 not so much, would it be cheaper to just buy a new rifle? Or do the different rounds all cost around the same?
Used to be .303 was cheap like borscht but those war surplus crates are long gone.
I need to replace the stock anyway because it was butchered by someone sporty with short arms. It kicks like the proverbial Chuck Norris. is a McMillan-type stock and a weaver rail grafted onto an old but free rifle cheaper than just buying a new .308?
Answers are useful not just for me but for the Rangers as well I hope.
Thanks
