Thanks Haz!

That will give me something to do during the game tomorrow night.

Good looking rifle Hazcat.  My wife bought me a 1917 S.M.L.E in .303 Brit for my B-day last year.  It's the same rifle that I'm shooting in my picture id thingy.  I'll have to post some better close ups when I get home from work and school tonight

So,
how does the Ishhy shoot?  I bought one a few months ago, and plan on steaming the cosmoline out.  I already cleaned the bolt with Simple Green, and it's real smooth now.

Any idea where I can find extra magazines?  Although, I read you're not supposed to remove it like you do with most magazine guns.

The Enfield Rifle was designed with a detachable 10rnd magazine, but the INTENDED method of reload is with stripper clips, loading the magazine from an open chamber.  Non of which I have  :'(  But they can be found on ebay, and some surplus sites will have 'em in once and a while.

30-06 Springfield CLIPS will work with 308 in the Ishy. You can also get them with with M14 ammo repacks. Check out http://www.fredsm14stocks.com/Default.asp

The Stock isn't in the best of shape, but not bad for 90yrs of use and abuse

Any NATO 7.62 stripper clips will work with the Ishapore.  I have both 10 rounders and 5 round clips, and they both work fine.

Ironhawks is NOT an Ishy,  It's the BRITISH Enfield, probably .303 since it's a 1917 . .308 strippers will not work with the cartridges.
