Lee Enfield bug

[sdh1911]

I've noticed over the last few months, I've been looking harder at Lee Enfield Rifles. I collected US arms for years and never paid too much attention to them until lately. I think logging into this sight has started to stir up that collecting bug. I am amazed at the amount of variations of even just the #4 rifle. I picked up the book for collectors only on the #4 rifle and they show many versions made north of the border that I have never seen in these parts, mainly the target versions. Do any of you folks know did they ever sent any to these parts? I'm going to be looking much more serious than in the past, but, don't know if it will be a waste of time or not. For now I'm going to chase down the #4 Mk 1/2 and #4 Mk 1/3. They don't look so impossible to find in these parts, but the target versions have me guessing. Also are the parts available to make up knock-offs? Any information would be greatly appreciated-SDH

there are parts out there, Parker Hale rear sites and such.

Took me 2 years to find one for my DCRA rifle well one that was reasonably priced.

stock bedding was another mystical art form on these rifles.

I thank you for the info, I don't mind bedding. I'm pretty well set up for it, I just haven't tried it on the #4 (yet) MT-SDH
