    New No. 4 MKII

    I again gave in to my addiction for milsurps and bid on a No. 4 MKII at a recent online estate sale. I won the darn thing and it is on its way.

    Here are the auction pics:




    Description advised as follows:
    Britishicon No. 4 Mark 2 In Caliber .303 Brit. (D-272). This 1957 dated rifle is as new with a few handling mars. Bore is new. All numbers match. SN-A18460

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Very nice.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    Well, it is a 1957..

    Thanks, guys.

    It arrived today. I thought it was a 1955, but, as described, it is a 1957.







    A lot of "F56" stamps on the wood and metal.




    Bore is outstanding

    Beautiful rifle!! Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but the "F 57 FTR" only confirms that this rifle went through a "Factory Thorough Repair" in 1957, not that it was made in 1957.

    That is a beautiful rifle. Am I mistaken or were MK II's all made with lighter furniture than the MK 1 or Mk 1*'s? It seems to me that every MK II I've seen has had the same color furniture as the one posted here.
