    Sometimes the Enfield Gods smile on you.

    At the last four guns shows I have attended I have found nothing worth buying. But this last weekend at a small local show the stars were perfectly aligned.

    No.4 Mk.1, Maltby, 1941, S/N# 8556 no prefix, excellent condition, original finish, all correct and matching except for the mag. It's a LongBranch that at some point was numbered to the rifle. $400

    No.4 Mk.ll, Faz S/N# PF328689, dated 11/54, matching bolt and mag, correct small parts. Mounted in one of those hideious black plastic stock sets. $100. I have most everything needed for restoration.

    And to top off the day, a US Model 1917, Winchester, all correct and matching with original finish. $500

    Sometimes everything works.

    Of course, you'll have to do photos.

    The No.4 Mk.2 can wait until you've "before and after" done.

    But the other two? Bring 'em on! Don't taunt us...
