VaiFanatic90 360 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Who owns one? How is it? And why do I suddenly want one so bad?!! Oh, and pics if you happen to have one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blkgunlvr 31 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) I have a nice Eddystone. Bought it used for pretty cheap metal and bore were great, stock had been texture-painted in "winter camo" white and black. Good shooter. Beware of bad bores (mostly throats and muzzles - they come from an era of corrosive primers). They were replaced by the Springfield 1903 partially because the Enfield did not have any windage adjustment on the sights (other than drifting) which makes "Kentucky windage" necessary in the field. In 30.06, the internal magazine holds six rounds since the gun was originally built for the rimmed .303 British cartridge. Can't seem to upload a picture to this post - sorry.

VaiFanatic90 360 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I was looking at seeing if CMP had any, but their website is less than clear on that. Might have to give them a call sometime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arik 565 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) I want the Isaphore 308. Great rifles. Had a chance to buy one a few months ago for 300 + an extra original mag. Now i regret not. Hopefully ill run ito the guy at another gun show and hopefully he didnt sell it Google Enfield speed shooting. They are the fastest bolt guns out there. Some guys just waste ammo but others are accurate and shoot at about the speed if a semi auto Edited June 9, 2012 by Arik Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaiFanatic90 360 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I have two 1964 Ishapores myself, great rifles. I haven't been able to find any extra mags though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arik 565 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yea and they are mostly crapola Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blkgunlvr 31 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I bought an Ishipore .308 from AIM Surplus for $150 year before last. It's a good shooter, but it took me a couple of hours to get all the cosmoline out of the stock to metal areas. I got a couple of extra mags from Sportsman's Guide that work fine.

G O B 3,516 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Sarco sometimes has originals, but the ProMags work- well about 2 out of 3 for me, but the one that doesn't work is the one that came in my Ishy, and it is missing parts. The ProMags are cheaply made, too thin and crappy followers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
