I bought a brace of those Ishy Enfields in .308 a while back. My first experience with that action. Once I got them cleaned up, they shot like a dream. No feed issues.

They’re my stash ‘em and hide ‘em rainy day go-to rifles. Guaranteed to shoot well enough to get you a better rifle. Or put meat on the table.

Got a spare for sale?

I’ve got one in .303 and one in .308, but my go-to rifles are all Mosin-Nagants. 7.62x54R is cheaper than .303 or .308, just as effective, and there is still a lot of surplus available.

I had one of those old Enfield .303s and learned a valuable lesson about the “feed” problems. Seems a load of them were shipped here with the rifles in one crate/pallet/box/whatever and the bolts were shipped in another. Reassembled without checking the headspace (whether the bolt actually FIT that particular rifle). Oh, the bolt would go in, but if the headspace wasn't correct, it could cause the brass cartridge to swell around the base when fired, thus causing an extraction or “feed” problem, not to mention being somewhat dangerous. I got rid of it as soon as I learned what it might do......
