    Smile New to Enfield addiction

    Well I have been just trying to soak up as much info as possible from this forum on the Enfield No. 4 Mk 1/2. I have been looking at one that an old friend had he did not know anything about the weapon other then it is an Enfield so I have comitted myself to the addiction and brought her home. She is an FTR 1954, matching serial #s, I think she originates from the BSA factory in Shirley? based off of the M47C, serial is in the A20000's, I have shot her around 50rds but not on paper so I dont know how the groups are will get to that soon. I do plan on shooting her as much as possible and use her for hunting the way she is in military dress "no sporter mods stuff". I know I could just hang her up and look at her but as a recently retired Infantry soldier I feel the need to have the old girl speak to me and often. So many questions on this weapon but that will be for another time. Thank you all for the knowledge that is passed on in this forum. Enjoy the pics.
    Mike

    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.

    Looks grand, they are herd creatures though so she won't be solo for long I'm thinking. That's the trouble I had.

    Well, get help quickly and yesterday is none too soon.

    Nice rifle.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?
