SMLE for Quasi-Speed build
25/03/17 05:03 AM

Hi all,

Stopped by a local gunshop when I was home from school and spied this rifle on the rack. Pictures aren't that great, but it has a decent bore and a caramel-coloured walnut stock (much darker in the photos) refinished into a sporter between the wars with period-style sling swivel studs and a slim foreend that balances perfectly at the shoulder, good dark bluing on everything. I suspect that with no maker's mark except the arsenal marks this was a home project of a hunter with interest in Enfields since this is the default cheap moose and bear gun in Canada.

I'm very happy with how it handles now, but I'd like to replace the military sights with a 3-leaf express and ramp front sight, if only so its easier to pick up against a black bear in low light. In addition, it is drilled and tapped for what looks to be a weaver mount accepting the .22 tip-off rings, would there be a period scope that wouldn't look completely out of whack with this gun, an old Leupold 3x or a Weaver K4 steel tube or the like?
