The above photo is of a new rifle from Indian Ordnance Factories. Enfield aficionados will recognize it as the Ishapore Enfield Rifle 2A1 with a modern sniper stock, scope and bipod.
The Ishapore Rifle 2A1 is based on the Lee-Enfield SMLE Mk. III and is chambered in 7.62x51mm.

0Nice to see the Ishi is getting some overdue love and I’m a proud mommy of one myself. I’ve always been a fan of the Enfield action ever since trying one out many years ago at a WW2 re-enactment. I just wish someone would start putting out modern reproductions that we can buy in different calibers like 7.62×39 or even 5.56×45 (yes I’m looking at you AIA who managed to get their rifles banned from import due to cheaping out on the stocks) rather than being relegated to red-head stepchild status. -_-
Screw Mauser actions it’s Enfield or go home for this girly! ^_^
2 0nagant action for me ;D
0 0@Stefan F I’d buy one. As for the the Enfield I would love to have L42A1 (or clone). If these are of new manufacture there could be an export market.
2 0I have a thing for the Enfields, and if I ever get a service rifle the Ishapore SMLE is my top choice.
1 0I can just imagine how cool a modern No1 Mk4 would look. Black Hogue stock with stainless steel action and barrel and a rail for modern optics. Release it in .303, .308, .223, 5.45, 7.62×39, whatever’s possible!!
1 0The Enfield action is extremely sweet. Those that ask why, I ask why not. For its purpose, with a good quality barrel, this will do just fine.
1 0Bem oque eu posso dizer nao sendo um especialista ; e, na minha epoca do serviço militar:usava o Mauser 7.62×51[Mosquefal] 5 tiros. Trata se de uma modificaçao do antigo Mauser,arma com grande poder de fogo.E sobre este fuzil que gostaria de mais informaçao.
1 0I can’t imagine anyone other than a bunch of political appointees coming out with this kind of junk. The side mounted scope looks like something copied from a 1930s Griffin and Howe sporter and the stock like something that came from a shop that turns out cheap molded toys sold in dollar stores.
0 0Question is it any good? Is it new production or actually an old Enfield ‘sporterized’ of sorts?
0 0I know…. lets get M-1903′s in a Sage stock and give them to our Army!
