   Yep, it's a repro.   
      
   > An original really shouldn't be fired at all.   
      
   Agreed, although I've seen people shoot original Enfields on two separate   
   occasions.  Best to stand behind and well away from them in those cases.   
   (One was nondescript but the other was a frankenmusket that had US stamped   
   on some parts and a CS lockplate and stock.  Nice relic, but none of the   
   other shooters wanted anything to do with the guy. He looked like George   
   Custer after meth binge.)
