Price drop. $450 FTF in Cookeville area. That's exactly what I've got in it. If I can't break even, I'll put it back in the safe and someone else can worry about it when I'm dead and gone.

RFI 1952 No 1 Mk 3 Enfield 303 British. 74 rounds of old ammo in stripper clips in dough boy style pouches, 60 rounds of new 180gr SP. I picked this thing up last year thinking I might try to kill a deer with it. But every time I go to the woods, I grab something with a scope. I don't know a whole lot about it. Some of the old ammo was hang firing…went through a 20 round box of the new stuff without issues. Kinda hate to part with it because it is a really cool old rifle. But out of frustration, I broke down and spent some pretty big coin (for me, anyways) on a new knife making grinder last night. Need to make some money back. $550 face to face in the Cookeville area. I can travel a little if need be but diesel ain't cheap so around 30-45 mins from Cookeville is about as far as I want to go. If you want to come to me, you're more than welcome to shoot it before buying. Feel free to text me at 931-two,six,seven-9114. Thanks!

I have a 1916 BSA and a 1941 Lithgow plus a RFI Pattern 1907 bayonet that's as long as my arm that fits both.
I don't need a third but wanted to give this a ride to the top as they're fun rifles to shoot.

The British Enfield Rifles are one of the best built Military Rifles made. Awesome caliber and most of the ones that I have ever shot was extremely accurate. This would make someone a very excellent collectable Military Rifle to own.

I inherited a similar rifle. Always wondered about the value. Evidently the one I have was for Paratroopers. Sling on the side and flash suppressor. It is a tack driver.

Sounds like yours is an Enfield Jungle Carbine which is a shorter version with a flash suppressor on it.

It is shorter. The side sling and flash suppressor seemed perfect for Paratroopers and night time invasion. I haven't seen one like it.
