Anyone have parts for the Mk1 No.4 rifles?

After calling 3 differnt online companies (two that say they have the parts in stock online ) noone I can find has what I need or in stock.

I didnt think it was that hard.

-A front sight guard
-Front sight guard screw
-Front sling swivel + screws
-Rear sling swivel + screws
-Maybe a bayonet + scabbard

Now I did find a place or two with one or two of the parts I need but is there any good place to order all of the things I need in one place? Noone I have found has the front sight guard screw though. - Jay

No worries mate, you're in the right place, first - enfield resource .com has links to everything enfield, and two of the best known enfield suppliers in the usa who have good prices and parts are springfield sporters and numrich gun parts corp, their url and contact is on the alphabetical quick find list at enfield resource

Or try BDL in SC. He has EVERYTHING

Springfeild looks to have everything online. Im calling tomorrow to make sure they have everything in stock. I tried Numrich already and they are out of a few things I need.

I will post my results and all tomorrow , Jay

P.S. Thanks for the BDL tip , thats a pretty cool web site, im looking it over now .

The parts I got from Numrich are all good condition and very serviceable. There service is great and I find very easy to deal with.
I must say however that the parts I got from Springfield Sporters to be a bit better and you can often order exactly the part you want from them as long as it is ether Long Branch or Savage. It takes longer to get parts from Springfield Sporters and the price might be slightly higher but the parts I received were worth the small price difference and the wait.
I have never used BDL only because I'm new to all this and only recently found out about them. I will remedy this on my next project.

I'm in Australia and deal with Brian from BDL and I highly recomend his service and advice.

I placed my order from Springfeild this morning. I cant say alot for the guy I talked to on the phone but we will see when all the parts get here.

Everyone says that about about the person that takes the orders, he is all business. But he does a great job and has not sent me the wrong parts yet.

How long after you order do you get them? I still havent been charged yet and I sure hope he sends the right stuff. He was just short with his words and all trying to talk to him. I said I need a bayonet for example and he said yep or something like that and asked what next... didnt get a chance to tell him what kind ,I rattled off the parts I needed , he asked for my card info and then that was it. Ive tried calling back today just to check in and all and all I get since 930am was a busy signal.

Not a rant , just not was I was expecting. , Jay

Update:
My wife was able to get through to Springfeild, they said im in line with 30 other customers and my oder might go out later next week or the week after. Order cancelled.

So , I talked to BDL and im going with him. I hear the parts will be in better shape and he was very nice and easy to talk with on the phone for ordering and getting me set up with my new Enfeild.

In the UK, my 1st port of call would be Phil Rose, who has an extensive selection of Lee Enfield spares and is always helpful. He also does very good quality gunsmithing on .303's, which he knows a great deal about - and at very reasonable rates. Can recommend highly.

I am glad you found your parts and that you are satisfied. Come back and tell us about the finished product!

Sure will , and will post pictures. This is my first No.4 rifle. I already want a WW1 Brit Enfeild now.

The parts people you contacted may be confused based on what you called your rifle. Due you mean No.4 Mk1? No.1 Mk4 is a conversion of a Long Lee to No. 1 Mk3 specifications. It can get pretty confusing at times. Your list of required parts seem to indicate No. 4 based on the one screw for front sight guard. A No.1 would require two.

Thats what I expect people to help me understand when I call them like BDL did. Not just a yep... yep... yep , easy for a new guy like I said I was on the phone to get confused.

Hi guys, thanks for all the useful information here - great how much information you can pick up ! Can I ask a follower query please - I'm based in Australia, while the big suppliers you mention here (BDL and Numrich) are in the USA. Am I going to get myself in trouble with Customs if I try to order then import parts from these guys in the US into Australia ? Parts in question are upper and lower bands and screws for a No4 Mk1, and perhaps a magazine.
