Quick correction to my first post. Number imported was 4,105, not 4015.

What a steal on that one. Hope someday to find something that nice so cheap.

Just as no one has said; these often show on gunbroker at or above $1,000. Yours is aged and in need of clean up but it is complete and a good overall package which is also a unique configuration, $150 is an awesome price.... can I also point you towards enfield resource.com as a good info source as well, cheers rjwnz

Very nice rifle and a GREAT price as well ! I've seen these rifles with a few different variants in their rebuild. Your rifle still has the original Mk.I rear hand guard with it's integrated sight protector removed... I've seen them with both the Mk.III "upgraded" rear sight protector and Mk.I integrated protector on the same rifle. Some of these rifles are still in complete Mk.I configuration having only their serial numbers changed, as is the case with mine.

I got the old girl apart(I had to wreck one of the butt plate screws to do it)and took some photos of the remaining marks. The butt stock, barrel, and the fore end stock have the same numbers on them.

What a nice rifle. Does it have a Mk I or Mk III type butt swivel? I'm trying to gather parts for mine. Mines 1905 dated CR 1818. My butchered one cost me $90, so you did well.

Actually, the rear sling swivel is missing, I need one too!

[gsimmons]

It could be either one that's why I asked. I like how the Mk I hand guard was converted to the Mk III type, the sight was changed. Interesting rifle.

My G 839 (pictured in above post) still has the early rear sling swivel

I'd say that you have a bit of a bargain there.

Based on what I have been paying I'd say you made a bit of an understatement there. Nice score & pictures!
