Regardless it was a good shooting gun. So if it is one of these then it should be a sound buy if in good condition, it will most likely have the "Ishy" screw and don't expect exquisite finish.
How tight was the bore Adam? Was it sub 0.312" as many people have reported in internet land?

I haven't got the slug to hand, but I seem to recall 0. 312" on the groove.

I have a Martini Enfield in just now that is 0.310" on the groove
