If you find your Enfield stock "too straight," then you will love your Mississippi stock because it has more "drop."

Noonda - Yes, that is the correct rear sight for the "Type E Mississippi" modification. I don't know why S&S has it listed as a "Springfield" because Springfield never used that particular sight on anything. Thank you for asking.

I had one for a while. My old eyes could never get used to the sight placement. Another thing to consider, while the Enfield with its .577 bore loves the .575 Lyman Old Style minie, as I recall the Mississippi did not. I'd do some digging on best bullet for this gun. Enfield stocks are skinny because the anemic walnut trees in England don't get enough sun - need a fat stock blank to get that drop.
I visited the Bernadelli factory in 1976. The company made rifles, shotguns, pistols, submachine guns for the Italian police and, of course Mississippi Rifles. Their machinery was the then latest CNC German machinery.
Unfortunately Bernadelli is now out of business. Their machinery was sold to a Turkish firm that manufactures shotguns.
