    New No4 MKII's...consecutive serial numbers

    I just glommed a pair of No4 MKII's at an on-line auction...one still in the wrap, one out. They are supposed to be consecutive serial numbers.

    "UF 55's"

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Nice catch, we used to see those around some years back and many were bought just to have a mint-er...those guys must be getting on now and selling a bit of that.

    Nice one, best of both worlds, one out and one in the wrap, and consecutive numbers, not a wrapper man myself as it wouldnt work here with my local force but can understand the collectors point.

    NONE come with bayonets inside the wrap! If they do, they've ben UN-wrapped because they leave the factory and are issued as just the rifle. Bayonets are issued as a totally separate item. They even have a different VAOS category to boot!
