    Newest Member of the Family

    I thought I would share a few photos of the newest member of the family. It is a 1955 No 4 Mark 2 (PF339xxx). Since it is a 55, he is the youngest member of the family since his brothers are all from the 40's.

    Nothing special about this, just my most recent purchase that just arrived today.

    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.

    Looking good....

    Is the matte black finish on the metal original or has it been restored?

    This is an unissued and unfired No 4 Mk2. The previous owner removed it from the mummy wrap and cleaned it. I also have one still in the mummy wrap.

    So what plans have you for this rifle? If you're gonna shoot it, its best to degrease it in the hidden areas under the fore end and handguards, otherwise the grease runs into the pores of the wood. Not to mention generally making a mess!
