I remember when the terror attack in Mumbai a few years back. I remember seeing military in the streets with SMLE rifles! Talk about vintage.

“ I remember seeing military in the streets with SMLE rifles! Talk about vintage.”

Those were Ishapore Enfields manufactured in the 1960s and chambered for 7.62 NATO. Nice rifles. I picked a couple up back when they were $110 a piece. The bolts are smooth a glass, magazine capacity of 10 rounds, and wicked accurate.

Wish I’d bought a dozen of them.

Well, they could always get an export agreement, I’m sure a lot of people would love to buy the old small arms
