An Indian politician said that SMLE-armed police were helpless in the face of AK wielding terrorists after the Mumbai attack. I think they were ineffective because they weren't well trained enough to use the weapons they had effectively. The cops involved in the 1997 North Hollywood shootout would have given anything for some 308 SMLEs at the time.

They were ineffective because the terrorists had automatics and the "battlefield" was an urban one with engagement ranges of less than 200m. PS: Even with that, one Mumbai policeman gave his life to tackle one of them to the ground and capture him alive. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajmal_Kasab)

Yeah no, you ain't going to bring down a motherfu**er with an AK going against him with a bolt-action rifle, we are talking about a very lethal semi-automatic weapon or a fully automatic weapon against a comparably very low rate of fire and weight of ammo. also those cops would have killed for literally anything other than the pistols they had, even shotguns would have been a godsend to cut the range against the bank robers.

Yeah that is sort off the case. Indian police is mostly expected to deal with riots, and because of strict laws, guns aren't really a threat for an every day cop. However now most major cities have a Swat like unit to cater to terrorist or attacks and incidents of similar intensity. Frankly speaking, in most cases all a cop really needs is a decent stick, and that does the job, while US cops have to be trained to be prepared for a shoot out because guns are fairly readily available in the states. I think it has lot to do with perceived threats.

I picked one of these up from a gun auction site last year, and I have no complaints with it. I love SMLEs, but I chose to buy the Ishapore largely based on ammunition availability and price. Had to buy the magazine separately (seller didn't have one for it), and then decided to complete the set by getting an authentic Pattern 1907 bayonet for it too. Even found stripper/charger clips for it. (On that note, I also learned that the clips I bought were actually designed for M14/M1A1 rifles, which I never knew even used stripper clips. Learn something new everyday, I guess).

In normal practice, the magazine is never removed except for cleaning or unloading. Instead of magazines, this rifle was meant to be loaded from stripper clips. I recommend that anyone shooting one of these rifles get some 7.62 NATO stripper clips. This makes the rifle even more fun. Insert the stripper clip into the notch in the bridge over the receiver, push the rounds in and leave the stripper clip sticking out of the top of the receiver. Cycle the bolt, and it will eject the stripper clip. It's very fun and very cool, and with a little practice, much faster than a magazine change.

A note to all the “armchair ballisticians” out there: .308 and 7.62 are BOTH SAFE in this rifle. According to Cartridges Of The World, NATO ammo and SAAMI ammo are measured completely differently, so there is no direct comparison as far as pressures are concerned. NATO is measured at the case mouth (lower pressure reading) and SAAMI is measured at the case body (higher pressure reading). Velocity is the direct result of pressure. If the same diameter bullets, of the same weight are launched at the same velocity, then pressure can be assumed to be similar enough to be considered safe. I have fired and chronographed both NATO 7.62 (Radford Green 147gr) and SAAMI .308 (Federal 150gr SP) in my Ishapore without incident and they show such similar velocities that I am unconcerned about pressure differences.

I'm leary about firing it though because all the .308's ballooned like they did. Does anyone know why the .308's would've ballooned like they did? Could it be something defective with the rifle, or could the .308's have been the cause?

I love the smoothness of the action and how fast and accurately they can be fired. I was hoping that you would have some stripper clips and shown how fast the rifle could be reloaded. The original intention was that the rifle was a breach loader and the clip is detachable for cleaning purposes. Good video.

I sold many of the Ishapore .308's in the late 80's. I did not know at that time that the steel in them is supposedly better than the English Enfields, and that is interesting. I found them to be reliable but not overly accurate. They also seemed a bit cruder made than the English guns with more mill marks, scratches and such. I found English built guns had much smoother actions than the Ishapores. It was also apparent that the Ishapores were not cared for by the soldiers they were issued to like most of the English .303's were. A very good buy for the money though. As I recall we sold them for 100 bucks or less.

+Dale Bridger If you're really that concerned, take it to a gunsmith to check headspace, or buy some gauges yourself. All military surplus guns may have headspace issues--really, any gun you don't buy new off the rack might have them, and even then it's not outside the realm of the possible. That said, the Ishapore is a good rifle made with a strong receiver and shouldn't have any issues. I probably wouldn't bother to check unless I saw signs of excessive wear or someone told me they had swapped out the bolt, etc.

@Mrgoodnyt

The .303 was the standard calibre for the Lee Enfield Rifles. That "stretchy part" when you push the bolt forwards is because the action is cock on closing and it must be cocked in order for the firing pin to strike the primer. The Action of the 7.62x51 or .308 Indian Lee Enfields are slightly different due to the different calibre. The magazine looks different on the .308 version because the shape of the .308 casing differs form the .303 so they had to re-design the mag to feed reliably.

The action is soooo much smoother and .308 isn't going anywhere any time soon. Most Mosins lack the bent bolt of the Ishapore and there really isn't any real difference in accuracy. The main difference is that the Ishapore's action is so smooth that it allows much faster accurate follow up shots. The Chinese often thought they were under machine gun fire during the Sino-Indian war when facing Ishapore rifles.

I bought mine for $275 i think. It has everything original except the stock which was replaced by a synthetic stock. I plan on getting the mark 3 stock for it later on but it's a great gun. Word of advice don't shoot it laying down, it hurts a bit. But other than that the recoil it's pretty good. Better than a 30-30 in my book.

I don't get to talk much on the forums much, so could you guys tell everybody thanks, for sending me to Gunsmithing School today on Judgement day. Thank you very much, even the haters. They sell 22 rimfire bolts and a gunsmith can reline the barrel. At my range, 22 rimfire seems to be more in demand cause the price of Pork bellies or is it Oil? I think its folks are starting to looks stupid running $90 in gas a day. We'll never know, so I couldn't agree with you any more. Good stuff, Good job.

how is the bolt throw on the Ishapore? is it just as smooth as the Lee enfields in 303?

Yes, you can, but why? The normal operation of the rifle did not detach the magazine, it was loaded via stripper clips. The mags were considered a gun part and serial numbered. Aftermarket mags require a lot of fiddling to get them work properly. I've had a Ishapore for over 25 years and I speak from experience. A mag should never be removed except for cleaning.

@sootch00 I personally think the cz82 in the best mil-serp in a while. The fact they're c&r as well means even people in Kommiefornia can get them for decent prices. They sell for around $250 here, and with them being steel and ambi, they have more features than even entry level 1911's

great video i have a 67, 762x51 cut down the stock, floated the barell, 3x9 scope, like you said i come to shoot, keep in mind the used brass should not be reloaded as the case splits.

Great vid bro.. Only 2 comments: 1. RFI stands for ROYAL FACTORY ISHAPORE 2, Never put your finger in the trigger guard to remove the mag when the rifle is cocked. Seriously unsafe. Best Practices Folks! Riflechair....

You should make a video of you loading this with stripper/charger clips. It takes alot of practice, but you can get really fast with it--and its a ton of fun!

So Sootch, what is the difference between the Ishapore and the Boar Rifle?

how does the bolt manipulation feel, is there any difference between the feeling of British .303 vs 7.62mm

I have a Gibbs No. 7 "jungle carbine" Lee Enfield 7.62x51. I love that rifle and have yet to see a nicer one.

Australian International Arms (AIA) produces new No. 4 Mk 2 type rifles chambered for .308 (the official designation is Mk 10). Unfortunately, due to some components coming out of Vietnam they have been unavailable for import here in the U.S.

You should keep a cigar in the cleaning supply chamber. That would add a touch of class...

Do you get any number 8’s over there, (Enfields chambered in .22RF), I heard the cadet forces have finally got around to replacing them as their small bore rifle, now they have the l98a2 that can be fitted with the H&K conversion kits. It would be nice to know some are in good hands as I reckon all those still in service will go to the furnace.....

I know this is an older video, but what range was this shot at? I could swear this was done at a local outdoor range not far from where I grew up.

The 7.62x51mm is the military version, it has thicker brass casings and generally a little less pressure then the civilian ammo. The .308 is the civilian caliber and generally has a bit more pressure behind it. It goes opposite for .223 vs 5.56 .223 is much less pressure 5.56 is much higher pressure. Generally 7.62x51mm and .308 are interchangeable .223 and 5.56 are generally NOT, unless the firearm is stamped ".223/5.56" or similar.
