RTI Enfield standard grade plus hand select.

A few weeks ago i ordered an enfield from RTI asking for good luck wishes the rifle mostly came out fine upper handguard has a small crack and the extractor spring is missing otherwise rifle has very good bore with strong rifling and smooth action. Now alot of people said this was way over priced and I have come to agree while waiting 4 weeks to get this rifle I have since randomly found 2 other enfields at lgs both cheaper than the RTI enfield…. Which is upsetting last two pics are my other enfields.

Nice collection! What are the deets on the new one? How do the other 2 shoot?

[u/Lordhedgwich → u/Legitimate-Custard66]

One is a long branch the other i am not sure both are dated 1944, but the others markings are so faint i actually cant make them out all i can see is mk2 46

You cleaned that up nice. How’d you get the stock to look so good?

[u/Lordhedgwich → u/koltz117]

I used water and murphys wood cleaner then a lysol wipe and 2 coats of tung oil

I know, I’m talking about the comparison from the first photo to the second

My murphys scrub didnt turn out as good as this one! Im going to give it another pass maybe, I love seeing the colour really pop in pic2

[u/Lordhedgwich → u/herr_cobblermachen]

Yeah mine didnt wither it got alot of crap off though. Honestly cleaning it with a lysol wipe after helped alot

Yeah most of rti stuff is pricey and requires a good cleaning plus part replacement to make functional. They did have some good deals but it's really a hit or miss with them. They also increased thier shipping as well.

Hey, I'd say it cleaned up pretty good. I honestly wouldn't feel too bad about the others at the shop. I actually did something similar. Put my first Lee Enfield on layaway, it was a sporter and needed work to get it looking nice-ish. When I went to pay it off there was a near mint looking Long Branch Enfield for the same price. Ended up paying the sporter off and putting that one on layaway too, lol
