I was about to say... The first hint was that little arrow mark near the hand guard.

The Buck 119(Special) and 120(General) saw use in Vietnam.

Come on down here to LI NY, I'll take you to a store and you can have your pick.....jus sayin...

Ka-Bars are always good.
I carried a Cold Steel SRK when I was in Afghanistan.I had done survival courses in the military with it and love it.
A lot of other guys i was with in the Sandbox carried the Gerber LMF

If I remember correctly its a 303 Lee Enfield converted to 22. Just as I was getting out the begrudgingly switched to air rifles and told us that guns were bad.

Probably been modded too. I believe the 1907 pattern should have a curved bit of handguard on the lower part. A lot of those were ground off in later years. You'll find they are good for throwing too. Hit with a bit of force and have a bit of range in a single turn throw .

Now that I think on it, you're right; it was converted.

Some of the guys I hunt with have Lee Enfields, but they've all been sporterised. Seems tragic to me, though they definitely weigh less than a full-stocked one does. And they kick a lot more in 303 Brit than they do in .22!

Thank you for the compliment, but in all fairness, it took me about 45 seconds with my GOOGLE FU to identify it.
I knew immediately that it was WW I era & not one of ours, but that's all I knew, so my first thought was British. It took GOOGLE FU to narrow it down.
