I am lusting for an L96A1 here in the United States.

"The thrill of the hunt" for the next Enfield keeps me going!!

L96A1 in the USA..... Try Fultons here in the UK. I saw a couple bound for there recently. But they ain't not cheap.........

Thank you for the heads up Peter. I just sent them an email. Didn't see any listed on their site.

Thanks,

Not having been back into military rifles very long, just about any Enfield in good condition is my goal. I did pick up a LSA 1918 with a very nice BSA '42 barrel that has the magazine cutoff. Then Saturday I bought an excellent Nr 4 Mk II (Fazakerley) at a gun show. It's all matching with the nice adjustable rear sight and a great bore. I gave 325 otd. Hopefully I didn't give too much for it but the condition is nice. I also traded for a Nr 1Mk III* Lithgow '41 that is really nice on the outside but the bore would probably rate poor to fair. I should've looked better! I have 175 in it.
Good hunting in your quest,

I'm waiting till this weekend to get her to the range.

Beautiful ,Good find. What year? Manufacturer?I am not certian what it is about the Number 5 but I really am impressed by mine. Mine keeps calling to me "I need a bayonet". My responce "I may have to sell you to afford one." I trust you will provide a range report.
