I found your site looking for information on my 7.62x51 Enfield rifle. I am an avid shooter and collector of firearms, I am a trained Gunsmith but no longer in business. My present interest is percussion revolvers...

Welcome, K7. Do you have a 2A or 2A1? What is your project?

My Enfield is a 2A1; I mounted a scope and it is a good firearm.

How does it group for you? I've considered looking at the various accurizing tips, like messing with the way the fore end mates to the buttstock and the receiver around the trigger.

What scope mount are you using?

Your rifle looks great!

Greetings K75, and welcome to the forum! Nice looking Enfield!

I'd say more, but my airhead pals all tell me to ignore you. (I kid, I kid, Lol....)

Anyway, welcome to the forums!

Mark

Welcome to IFG

Could you tell us as to what kind of mount you used to mount the scope - was there a provision already or did you have to make one? Looks interesting!

The rifle shoots quite well. It needed to be tightened at the buttstock socket and the barreled action needed to be bedded, the receiver and the barrel for about 6 inches the rest of the barrel is free floated to the muzzle cap. I used acraglas for bedding as it strengthened the old wood yet still maintains the rustic look of the arm. The scope mount is a sand cast and machined part that fits atop the receeiver and is held in place by the squeezing action of the set screws. I do not know who made it... I will post pictures of the mount once they are loaded onto my photo sharing...the scope is a Tasco Pronghorn in 4x.

That's an interesting mount! The common one, the S&K, wraps a band around the receiver ring, requiring the fore end to be relieved. Does this mount retain zero after the gun is fired a lot?

K75RT · Post by **K75RT** » Wed Nov 12, 2014 5:36 am

No retention of zero problems with this mount, it is very solid.
