What’s your Lee Enfield Holy Grail?

[Demo]

My only holy grail would be a Stirling SMG to go with the Vickers, Sten, Lewis, and BREN. BUT that ain't gonna happen. I have too bloody many Enfield Rifles and carbines, plus Sniders and Martinis to look for more. (roughly 200), Enfields going from Metfords to the L42A1. Besides, I ran out of room some time ago.

John all those guns and not one camera.

What for- you don't have a camera either!

I could aford to buy one as i would not need to save my dollars to buy so many rifles. Then i would have more time to learn how to upload photos.

Hey guys...maybe this is the thread I'm looking for...

Just bought a 'jungle carbine' but it's stamped "No 4 MK2". It looks nothing like the MK2's I've seen but has all of the characteristics of an MK5. I'll post pics later if necessary but this one has the flared suppressor at the end of the 20 1/4" barrel and is 3' 3 1/2" overall...and it looks exactly like the one pictured here (minus the 't')>>> File:Jungle Carbine.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Could this one have been mislabeled when it was factory refurbished? It has a date of 1/52 followed by 'PF228'.

I have a couple No4's and love em all but this one shoots especially sweet and is a little easier on this little feller when tromping though the woods...

Not likely a No5 "mislabeled". Post some pics of the receiver area- it will be easy to confirm if it's a No4 that's been turned into a No5 by someone....

[herb13]

My pics are too large ("File too Large") and I can't find my camera manual to take smaller pics...can anyone tell me how I can make them small enough to fit here or through my Sony Cyber-Shot? I post pics elsewhere all the time and haven't run into this problem before...

The exact printing on the side of the receiver is:

303 BRITISH
UNITED KINGDOM
IAC ALEX VA

And just to the right of the above is hand-etched:

No4 MK2 (F)
1/52 PF228.670 (which also matches up in a couple other places)

But I did manage to get them posted at PhotoBucket (hope that works for ya)>>>>
