My buddy was just gifted his grandpas old rifle he needs help identifying it.. All we could figure out is that it’s in .308 is from England and was made in 1964 and is bolt action
Where not entirely sure what caliber it is. What did these rifles usually come chambered in??Appears to be a No.1 MkIII sporterized by Bubba.
Need better pics.

NOT SAFE to shoot if it is MK3 .308. Only Enfields safe to shoot in .308 are from Ishapore.
Same case, less heat. The 7.62x51 is not as hot as the .308 win.India produced Enfields (Ishapore 2A1) in 7.62x51 NATO, same case as the .308. The 2A1 is fine with standard pressure 308s
That is backwards. It is safe to shoot 7.62x51 out of 308, but generally not the other way.Generally safe to shoot 308 in 7.62x51 chambers, but not the other way around.
Both calibers are virtually idtentical. To say that one has wildly higher pressure than the other, yet both having the same bullets, same powder and only a slight difference in internal case volume is foolish.That is backwards.

You said that. Not me.Both calibers are virtually idtentical. To say that one has wildly higher pressure than the other, yet both having the same bullets, same powder and only a slight difference in internal case volume is foolish.
