303

imbugged
A friend of mine just bought a british 303 in 308. It is the short carbine. It has 7.62mm2A1 then RFI. Is this british made or one that was made in another country? I take the RFI to mean royal something so I think it is british made.

    Don't know exact years but it was built in US by Savage. Try www.milsurpshooter.net for a chat forum on Enfields.

    According to Sgt. Alvin York's diary, when his company got to France, they turned in their "American rifles" (M1917 Enfield) and were issued "British rifles"."MAY 21, 1918 LeHavre, France: So we got to France at LeHavre. There we turned in our guns and got British guns. Well, we went out from Le Havre to a little inland camp. I had taken a liking to my gun by this time. I had taken it apart and cleaned it enough to learn every piece and I could almost put it back together with my eyes shut. The Greeks and Italians were improving. They had stayed continuously on the rifle range for a month or two and got so they could shoot well. They were fairly good pals, too. But I missed the Tennesseans. I was the only mountaineer in the platoon. I didn't like the British guns so well. I don't think they were as accurate as our American rifles. Ho ho."Perhaps your Enfield is one of those.
