This is my first post here and I am looking for some help in identifying a rifle I just came into possession of. It has an enfield action with a Parker Hale heavy barrel, heavy wood stock and is in .308 caliber. Magazine looks like a regular SMLE 303 mag but holds .308. It isn't the Ishapore mag. The thick fore end has an insert with multiple threaded holes. The sights are removed, no front sight nor does it look like there ever was one. the rear sight has been removed partially, a Parker Hale marked mount is on the left side but has empty threaded hole, right side has an integral mount with the empty threaded hole. Any ideas? Is this some sort of bubbified rifle or is it some rifle I haven't heard of before? thanks for any replies.
