Good lord. What’s this abomination

No5 that had some Bubba work done by previous owners.

No32 scope mount was installed and one of the rear sight mounts had been removed, so I can’t put irons back on. They messed around with the forestock as well. It’s a legit No5 with the weight relief cuts throughout but not a museum condition one.

I… like it. No permanent modifications?

u/TheSockington Aug 18 '26

Just a bolt-on adapter that leaves no damage. Some of the previous owners have done some stuff that’s permanent now.

u/IcySkyDream Aug 18 '26

That’s alright by me. 🤓

It’s a modern tactical scout rifle!

I love and hate it.

u/ExplosiveFetusActual Aug 18 '26

There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying a previously sporterized rifle and doing some bubba and tacticool to it. There are thousands of these in the country that are already chopped up.

u/ThePoeticJester Aug 18 '26

Other than the scope mount you could just put the old stock back on and its fine but hey man, that seems fun to shoot!

Number 5 kicks and those stupid rubber butt pads are all rocks now haha

Don't listen to the haters and Bubba that bad boy if you like, guns are meant to be used how ever you like, it would look great with a Jungle pro mag! https://store.theshootingcentre.com/promag-enfield-1-mkiii-magazine-303-british-10-round-blued-steel/

I’ve heard some mixed results trying that setup

u/blueline731 Aug 18 '26

I want to do this now. What an abomination

u/Spiritual_Rope_6952 Aug 19 '26

cant tell if im impressed or disgusted lol

u/TheLastEmoKid 29d ago

Im almost mad at myself for not hating this

2

u/One-Coffee-2621 29d ago

870 or 590 stock? Have a 5.56 Bubba'd Lee Enfield that probably deserves the same treatment

2

u/TheSockington 29d ago edited 29d ago

Neither. It was custom made by a guy halfway around the world and at quite an expense. More than double the Mesa 870 adapter price.

My dedication to upsetting the Fudds goes beyond financial sense

this is the worst thing I've ever seen

u/Bambam4040 Aug 18 '26

Why would you put that on that rifle…. But you do you

u/TheSockington Aug 18 '26

Shooting the original stock off a bench isn’t the most comfortable setup versus my full length Enfields. It had already been mucked with so I can’t put a rear iron sight back on.
It’s all reversible and a little more elegant than something TrenchRat guy would do.

I got one my father bought new and fired once and packed it up now I have in best of mint shape it can be

2

u/TheSockington Aug 19 '26

That’s a great heirloom. My late father was a hunter so I inherited a rarely shot Ruger M77 300winmag and Remington 870. He also served with the UN in the mid 1960s but I can’t obtain the rifles he would have used there.

This No5 was a cheapie from GunPost that has had some serious fuckery over the years. I pulled the forend and there’s some interesting bedding that was done.

Have mercy

u/Last_Temperature_599 Aug 18 '26

I'm 100% sure the original butstock is better and faster. Bolt actions and manual actions with pistol grip never made sense to me. If it was a good idea they would've made it this way in 1939 or 46 but they didn't

u/vroflraptor 29d ago

That better not increase the proficiency of your mad minute or else the Enfield is getting the ban hammer

u/No_Maybe4408 Aug 18 '26

Will definitely be handy on your quest up a mountain to destroy the ring.
