    Question No4 Question

    Okay so I got to look at a No4 MkI today, and while looking at it I saw something I wasn't used to seeing. The information was stamped into the LH side of the receiver "ROF No4 MkI 1941" bolt, mag, stock and receiver matched. Has rectangular cocking piece and no stacking swivel, person was asking $500, took me back, but are they out of line? The rifle was no mine, so no pics, but I cannot recall having seen the info stamped on a ROF No4, usually electro penciled.

    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.

    The Early Maltby (1941) No.4 rifles were roll stamped on the left side of the receiver. You don't see them very often.

    No.4s do not have piling (stacking) swivels - unless retro-fitted after they left Britishicon service.
