What’s your Lee Enfield Holy Grail?

[B & B ARSENAL]

My holy grail would be a No 4 Mk 2 with the following serial numbers

PF 411482 - PF 411471. These were an order from Hong Kong for the RHKDC of which my father was a member. I remember the regiment on parade on the parade grounds when I was a child. Really brings back fond memories. Also, I believe these were one of the last ones manufactured.

Anyone out there with one of these. Sure would like to know if any of these are still around.

At this point I want to get a Long Branch No.4 MK1, no particular date, just a Long Branch. Ok, maybe in the '43 or '44 era.

I have a British and a US, now I just need Canada's contribution.

After that I'll start getting picky.

So far as I've discovered there is no end to wanting yet another Enfield, but last week I got the one that had eluded me for quite awhile... a 1922 No 1 Mk V... sporterized but very nicely, and in excellent condition. It completes my "gotta haves" list, and anything beyond it is gravy.

My 1922 MkV. All matching.

This thread is a fantastic idea and has yielded some really interesting results.

To throw in my two cents...

I'd love to have a Great War production SMLE with a PP scope and PP mount. I suppose that any SMLE that had served on the First World War Western Front or WWI or II Italian campaigns would be my 'Grail' find. It's almost impossible to know unless the piece was somehow kept by its owner who fought in either of the campaigns (a virtually unheard of instance in and of itself).

Mine would have to be an early mk1 Savage.

[MK Wheelie]

My holy grail would be the Lee Enfield in .410 caliber. Heard of them, never seen one.

[enfieldman]

I have several lee enfields including 3 Long Branch No.4`s.
A must for me is an original No. 4 T. Sniper Rifle.
I had a chance at one a couple of years ago, but the deal fell thru..
I`m still looking though!! Phil.

No4T.........could bve worth speaking to BDL to see what he's got. Maybe he's got something on consignment

[EarlyFours]

My holy grail is a Trials No4 Mk 1 rifle with the Ball and Spring rear sight that came
before the Plunger and Spring rear sight.
