An upside down Enfield
Updated: January 9th, 2013
The action in this rifle is an inverted Enfield M1917 (or maybe Enfield P14). It was done so that a lefty could use it!
[ Hat Tip goes to Max Popenker for finding this bizarre creation. ]
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

As a southpaw the more firearms that can be used by lefties the better.
It's hard to say what the intention was here. Given the complexity of the stockwork, I would venture that it would have been easier (and more practical) to machine a left-handed action.
