I would like to have the following:

No4 Trials
No1 MkVI
Pattern 13

Dreaming on.

[Suddsy]

My heart's desire is a No 4 Mk 2 in new, or nearly new condition ... With a 0 or 1 bolt head and correct head space. If anyone in Canada has such a piece, and is interested in selling, please let me know -- I will pay a fair price.

This is my first posting, so hello everyone. I'm not sure how members communicate, other than on this forum, or if it is permitted to connect for trading purposes via this forum. But I'm sure someone will let me know.

9 year update. Got the Enforcer, got the L-42A1, one that BDL brought in.
Got the Trials (T) but it was "sportered" into a hunting rifle. So still need a Trails T.
Found a rare rare Long Branch No. 4 Mk 1/2. Neat find. Have a LB No. 4 Mk 1/3.
A No. 9 Mk 1 .22 found a home here, but at the opportunity cost of a 1934 Lithgow
that I had to pass on for lack of funds. Same show, table across from each other! z
A LB No. 7 .22 and BSA No. 8 .22 somehow found there way here. Need the jags and rods for the cased No. 7.
One, then another 1953 Lithgow has found a spot in the room as well. One has a mis-matched bolt, the other is matching.
Also added a No. 1 Mk VI, an L-39, a couple L-59's, and most fortunately was able to find
1 of 73, 1943 trails Long Branch (T). BDL and Captain Laidler did a great job for me on the rehab of the rifle and the scope.
Got a butchered Envoy that needs total restoration. Still looking for a good one of these.
Most recently added a 1941 two digit No. 4 Mk 1 Long Branch. First day of production!!

Make your luck! Stop at every gun shop and pawn shop you see. Get an 03 FFL for road trip gun show weekends. network. Never quit. Have a buy list in order of priority. Study. I had the chance for a mint Parker Hale T-4 for $700.00 and bought something else because I didn't have enough knowledge. Buy books. Study. Make your luck!!!!

Yeah, I've been doing a bit off that. Since I first joined this forum asking about building a clone T, I have bought, sold, and traded up through a few No4Ts till I got to my holy grail, a Gurkha issued L42A1.

A CES complete Savage L42 for 7k? Jeebus, I hope you scored that before the price quote was out of the guy's mouth!
