Just saying G'Day

Welcome to the forum as it is the best on the net. Would love to see pics of the enfield and the cz. What is a 6.5 epps? What parent cartridge is it?
Hi Jon
The 6.5 Epps is a 303 Brit necked down and ackley improved so to speak. Min body taper, shoulder angle 35 degrees, and moved forward close to an 1/8". Was design by a gunsmith in Canada by Ellwood Epps and they say with the help of Mr Ackley.

Very nice Butch, dribble and drool the old Enfield's can be done up very nice which you have shown.
 
The Enfield action is a work horse and makes a good platform for the big cartridges. They can be made up into fine sporters. The 6.5 Epps should be a good build.

Thank you for the imfo. I have quite a few enfields I could rebarrel. That cartridge sounds like a lot of fun.

Your enfield is the nicest example of custom work I have seen in quite awhile. Thank you for sharing.
