    Restored my LE No.4 MkI* Savage

    Hi,

    Now i am ready with my restored LE. Its a No4 MkI* from 1942 made by Savage, only 2 parts didn`t match. The rearsight and the buttplate. I`ve done a gentle restoring job because of the rifles history. It was built in the States as a landlease for Canadaicon and served at the European theatre till the end and changed to the Pacific War. Then in the 70`s it was sold to Germanyicon and know it is my one since two years. I like her because of the dark wood and the grain of the wood on the forestock, the Ishy screw and she`s a good shooter.

    Regards

    Gunner

    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.
