Good place to buy Enfield rifle

[Alexisrq]

Hi,

New to the Enfield! Where will be a good place to buy the Enfield? I am looking for an Enfield Rifle No.4 MK I preferably from 1943. I found one online that has the following description (Serial # MK417610. Manufactured by BSA in 1943, stamped "M47 1943"). I have Charles R. Stratton book and I cannot find this numbers. According to the book the code for BSA factory should be M47C. I also confuse with the serial number cannot find the MK in the serial number descriptions on the book.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex, welcome to the forum, you can get answers to just about anything you like here.
Regarding buying an enfield we'd probably be unanimous in recommending Brian Dick of BDL ltd, you'll find them listed in enfield resource.com, he's a great help and very knowledgable. BDL have a website and it shows pictures of some of their rifles in stock. If you don't see what you're after you should speak with Brian as he has more and knows of others.
cheers rjwnz

Get straight to your phone and get on to BRian Dick at BDL Ltd in SC. He will have what you want and need.................. Ooops, I'm repeating what RJW has already said................

Lets go for a hat trick. Brian Dick from BDL. He is my first port of call when I am importing Enfields into Australia.

Click on Brian's advertisement under BDL in the second post titled "Friends and Sponsors" ...

I'd call that a ringing endorsement for Brian...

Is the "MK" mark on the left side of the receiver and/or made up of dots? It may be one of those serial numbers put on by an importer. The serial number may be very faint on the left of the buttsocket.

Quite simple....Brian.

BDL LTD Rifles and Accessories

I have purchase some from Joe Salter (JoeSalter.com) in the past, but Joe's prices are fairly steep. You never know what you're going to see on his website tho..always an interesting selection from all over the world.

2nd third and fourth votes for Brian at BDL. Never had a bad rifle from him, or bad advice either.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will definitely do my homework.

Thanks again
