    Sometimes the Enfield Gods smile on you.

    At the last four guns shows I have attended I have found nothing worth buying. But this last weekend at a small local show the stars were perfectly aligned.

    No.4 Mk.1, Maltby, 1941, S/N# 8556 no prefix, excellent condition, original finish, all correct and matching except for the mag. It's a LongBranch that at some point was numbered to the rifle. $400

    No.4 Mk.ll, Faz S/N# PF328689, dated 11/54, matching bolt and mag, correct small parts. Mounted in one of those hideious black plastic stock sets. $100. I have most everything needed for restoration.

    And to top off the day, a US Model 1917, Winchester, all correct and matching with original finish. $500

    Sometimes everything works.

    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.

    Of course, you'll have to do photos.

    The No.4 Mk.2 can wait until you've "before and after" done.

    But the other two? Bring 'em on! Don't taunt us...
