Found this today close enough

Post by misfit »

I was at a local gun shop and found this it’s an Enfield MK1 .38. It was made in 1935 I thought It looked good and it was only 300$ instead of over a grand for the Webley green. It fits my holster great too :lol:

That has a very nice finish. Looks minty.

It'll give you years of enjoyment.

That certainly would work for me.

Does it shoot the .38 short?

I thought so. I had one of those about 20 something years ago. I wish I had it now, but I traded it away for a sporterized .303 Enfield.

300 bucks for that weapon is a steal! Great pickup!

I remember it as being noticeably smaller than the Webley. What do you think?

Yea, especially if you hold them side by side. However, by itself it isn't too bad. I still say "it works for me."
