My dilemma.
My brother gave me a British Enfield 303 MK whatever No. whatever. His best friend from H.S. gave it to him a million years ago. While in my possession I added the era correct micrometer ladder sites, added authentic sling, cleaned it after a 100% tear down, shot it, cleaned it. I mentioned to my brother maybe trading it for something a bit newer and he gave me the hairy eye. Heres the dilemma...
a) should I just give it back to him?
2) should I keep it forever?
c) should I keep it and trade it? Its only worth maybe 300 tops, functions great, not real accurate due to the modern ammo making hit about 6 inches high at 50-75yards. Smells too surplus-ie for deer hunting.
I'm thinking about giving it back to him. My kids have shot it. I've shot it. His kids have not shot it. Its a cool hunk of history being that its a US made (Savage) Enfield from 1944... and his friend from HS gave it to him back when you could get Enfields/Mausers/SKS for 79 bucks. I'd be more inclined to keep it if I could get it to hit 6 inches lower, then I could use it at the historical matches at Scarborough or hunting. Maybe I should inquire with Paul at Northeast about shimming up the front sight?
