New No. 4 MKII

**Calfed** · 11-20-2011 01:04 PM

I again gave in to my addiction for milsurps and bid on a No. 4 MKII at a recent online estate sale. I won the darn thing and it is on its way.

Here are the auction pics:

Description advised as follows:
British No. 4 Mark 2 In Caliber .303 Brit. (D-272). This 1957 dated rifle is as new with a few handling mars. Bore is new. All numbers match. SN-A18460

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

My heart felt condolenses go out to you.

Oh yeah, nice Enfield!!

Thanks, guys.

It arrived today. I thought it was a 1955, but, as described, it is a 1957.

A lot of "F56" stamps on the wood and metal.

Bore is outstanding

Beautiful rifle!! Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but the "F 57 FTR" only confirms that this rifle went through a "Factory Thorough Repair" in 1957, not that it was made in 1957.

That is a beautiful rifle. Am I mistaken or were MK II's all made with lighter furniture than the MK 1 or Mk 1*'s? It seems to me that every MK II I've seen has had the same color furniture as the one posted here.
