    gravityfan, I hope that slur was tounge in cheek. No, I'm not Pakistani.

    As for the POFicon, No4 MkII, I personally think they are some of the best Lee Enfield variants on the market right now. Maybe even better than the Britishicon made rifles.

    They have excellent and tight fitting circasion walnut furniture and usually excellent bores that measure out on the tight side, .310 or less, nothing yet over .311.

    The POF No4 MKIIs have proven to be very accurate as well. They are made on ex British tooling and follow the specs to the letter.

    "Junk" is hardly a decent description of these rifles. I will admit that they are usually covered in old, dried cosmolene and dirt when they are first encountered but they usually have all matching numbers and have been stored properly. That describes the POF rifles that have appeared in Canadaicon anyway.

    There must be something good about them. There were literally thousands of them imported into Canada and most sold anywhere from $275 - $350, without accessories, such as slings or bayonets. The accessories had to be purchased separately. I'm still looking for a Pakistani sling.

    They first started to show up about two years ago and were plentiful. They are drying up fast as appreciation for their quality becomes known. In Canada anyway, I'll bet they will be as hard to find as the Indian 2A and 2A1 rifles are right now. At first, the .308 series 2 rifles were a hard sell as they were dirty and dinged. Now as shooters have been using them for a while, appreciation for them has grown so that they now command a premium price. No, it's not because of the cartridge it's chambered for either. I suspect the POF No4 MkI and MkII rifles will do the same by next year.

    Purchase one while you still have the chance and wipe your nose.
