today 11/29/2020 ANY lee enfield at a REASONABLE price, is a holy grail..
These are awesome wish list! Hi! New member and new to collecting. Im an Aussie living in Chicago and want to start a Aussie Collection in Chicago - think it would be pretty cool. I learned to shoot the 303 in cadets looking for my first purchase. As soon as I think I am understanding this wonderful rifle I learn something new. My immediate goals are more straight forward: #matching, as original as possible collectible Aussie Lithgow WWII, WWI, 22 trainer, Boer (non lithgow, I know), L1A1 (not a bitsa, but original). Ive been learning for about 12-18 months....who would have thought how it sucks you in. :)
A no5mkII. I know, doesn't exist, but I can dream.
I have a MLE 1896 s/n 252, it might be it! Just new to the forum, looking for info on this s/n to see if it is the lowest one I can find. I have recently received 4 Lee Enfield. This one is the best one, the others are 14, 18 and 44 mark 3’s.
I snagged a 1905 commercial No1 MLE 1905 G. Fulton unmolested with original Bisley camp sling.

A decent CLLE like this one.
My Holy grail is an original No.5 MK 1 Jungle carbine. I had an original 30 years ago, and used it very successfully as a brush hunting rifle in western Washington state. I letr a friend talk me out of it in a trade for a Marlin lever in .444 Marlin, which I regretted instantly.
Now I work part time at a local gun shop, and have seen some fakes come through, but have not found an original again. I see them on Gunbroker, but the prices seem a bit high to me....
