For those who may not know, the Ishapore 2A1 is basically a No. 1 Mk 3 Enfield, but made with higher quality steel so it can handle 7.62x51 pressure. It also has a 12 round box magazine, rather than the .303 Enfields 10 round mag.
I got this rifle earlier this week, got an awesome deal on it from a guy who just didn't get to shoot it like he thought he was going to.
Seems at some point somebody decided it was a great idea to dip all old rifle stocks in a nasty shellac. I can't stand it, so the first thing I did was sand (carefully) and clean the shellac off, then I re finished it with boiled linseed oil.
Trying to decide what to do next. I am either going to leave it as is, or I will make it some sort of sniper repro.
