I recently acquired a rifle from my father-in-law that he purchased from a gun show several years ago. He says it is an Enfield and is a .30-06. I have been unable to find anything on it or tell the make for sure.

At the time of purchase he was also told that it was used in WWII and that somewhere along the lines the barrel was shortened.

The only markings, other than a serial number, i have found are on the bolt.

I thank you in advance for any help or direction that you might have.
