Ishapore No. 4 MK. I .303 Drill Purpose With Welded Chamber

Received my rifle yesterday and was a little disappointed. Bought this for a wall hanger, but was hoping for a few more items still with the rifle. No mag, bolt, or front sight blade was included. Stock seemed in pretty good shape, but will know more when I clean the cosmoline off.. You get what you pay for so don't be upset with missing parts!

Very happy overall with the four I bought. Got them for the wood and parts — all of which were very good overall, except one trigger guard had a stripped front-screw hole. Of the four, none had front-sight blades, and a couple were missing trigger-guard screws. One had no rear sight; one had a flip rear sight, but two had Variation 1 micrometer rear sights, which was a nice surprise.

TLDR: I was very pleased and received more than I expected. Ordered 2 rifles, both came missing front sight blades and bolts, but came with everything else including magazine, rear sights, and other major components. If you do intend on using these rifles to cannibalize for replacement parts, most of the metal components are in excellent shape and appear hardly used. The hardwood stocks aren’t ideal for restocking another rifle because the ‘draws’ and other important load bearing areas are compressed. If you intend on using these as wall hangers, these rifles do appear beautiful from a distance and would be excellent for that. More about the stocks: The forefends ‘teetertotter’ around the king screw. I soaked both stock sets in raw linseed oil and they haven’t improved. The load bearing areas of the stocks have already been repaired with dowel rods and grafting, which will need to be replaced again. Other repairs have been made externally to the forends and the buttstock. “DP” has been stamped on to every wood part More about the metal work: Most of the original British components have been replaced by Savage marked ones and are in excellent shape. The metal hardware such as the front and rear bands and the trigger guard have been stamped with “DP”. The barrels on both of these looked immaculate, too bad they had been drilled through the chamber. The first rifle I received was produced by Fazakerly in WWII. Came with the war time expedient L-type MkII flip up sight. Matching numbers on receiver, barrel, and forend. Forced matching magazine. Still had the original leather donut in the buttstock. It had been "FTR” at least once in its life. The second rifle I received appears to be a British WWII production rifle, but it was scrubbed of its original markings and restamped with “1972 RFI”. Came with a Mk1 "Micrometer" sight. Matching numbers on receiver, barrel, and forend. Magazine NOT matching. The buttplate was so worn thin that the buttplate spring screw fell right out when cleaning.

I bought these for the the wood furniture since you can’t really find it anywhere else. My 2 wee both missing mags and bolts. 1 was missing the trigger guard. Stocks appear to be useable with cleanup. Kinda bummed about the mags and bolts, but overall ok with them.

Wood in good condition, all hardware present in good shape.

Got this to desporterize an enfield i picked up a couple years ago. Very good price. Wood is completely usable with the only issues being all the grease, weld burns around the chamber and a minor crack in on of the forearm pieces. Also mine was missing the front sight protectors which was disappointing because they're all pictured with them. Overall very happy. Only about 40 bucks worth of parts and my rifle will be mostly correct again. Also the is no bolt or magazine included. They aren't pictured, but it also didn't say in the description.
