DP Enfields
Ditto on checking out the Enfield Drill Purpose rifles. Look in the Enfield section at Surplusrifleforum.com, there is an extensive discussion on what to look for in both returning a DP rifle to service, and most importantly why they were classified as DP in the first place.
That being said I got one too! I am going to use the wood & metal furniture to return a Lithgow No.1MKIII to it's original configuration. I bought one last spring that had been "sporterized" but the barrel had not been cut. In searching for all the proper stuff to restore it, it was going to be expensive, but the DP rifle I got was a very cost effective way to complete the project.
