I picked up a “De-militarized enfield mk3 from an online vender. In my head, I’m questioning how it’s regarded legally.
The rifle has had its chamber drilled completely through and a steel rod welded in place. The firing pin has also been cut as well as the bolt face has been welded (firing pinhole).
Would MA still regard this as a rifle ? Does it need to be FA10ed?

Alternatively is there a way to de-mill it more (without cutting it in half) to make it a non firearm?

Curious minds want to know.

Originally, I wanted to hang this on the wall I’m not sure I can do that if it’s considered a real firearm.
