    Thumbs down Enfield No 4 Mark I .303 sniper rifle - Value?

    Hello,

    I have an Enfield No4 MKI sniper rifle (1944). It has a lovely dark wood stock (in excellent shape), and comes with the telescope (numbers on scope, match the box it resides in, as well as the stamped number on the rifle - a sticker in the scope box also says what rifle the scope belongs to). I am interested in selling this item - but would like to know the current market value, before listing it for sale.

    If anyone can be of assistance, I would appreciate it!

    Thank you,

    Matthew

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.

    Hi Matthew,

    A lot depends on where you live, and how original (authentic) the rifle and all the parts are. A true No4 Mk1 (T) in Canadaicon can go for, maybe $3,500? I think I've seen them sell for that much or around. Anyone feel free to correct me my knowledge about that market is... limited.

    I agree, a lot has to do with location, location, location. For a collector of sniper rifles the manufacturer and model of the scope can make it more desirable. Good luck and drop me a note when you decide...

    I’d say your close for a No4Mk1(T) here in Canada as a starting point. As stated it’s value will depend on your location and a number of other factors such as the number of correct serial number matches, extra accessories and rarity of components (scope etc.). Matching examples have sold recently here in Canada from $3500.00 to as much as $5000.00.

    No4 MkI

    Sorry gentlemen - I didn't realize that I had posted on a Canadianicon board - I am in Alaska (some think we are a part of the US ...).

    The s/n on the gun matches with the gun number on the scope box - as well as the s/n on the scope matches a number stamped onto the stock of the rifle.

    I will attach a few pictures.

    Thank you all for your help.

    Don't get the wrong impression, this is pretty much an "international" board!

    I do think that Canadaicon has a higher-than-usual ratio of Lee Enfield lovers though.

    I also do know that the market is quite different between the US and Canada. Anyone in the US has seen No4Mk1(T)'s for sale recently?

    Here are a few US postings I came across:

    No 4 MkI* Savage (rifle only) -- $1,150.00 (For Sale)
    No 4 MkI Savage (rifle, scope, and mount) -- $2,750.00 (For Sale)
    No 4 MkI Savage (rifle only) -- $1,350.00 (Sold)

    I also came across a closed posting with an asking price of $6,000.00; however, I was unable to tell if it had a new owner or not.

    I know very little about No 4 MkI(T) rifles, which is why I do not own one at this time. With my luck, I would post my great new purchase only to find out it is a fake.

    It is on my wish list, but I need more knowledge of what I am looking at so that I can look for the small things that will warn me to walk away!!

    Thank you for the information - here is some information that might help you in your search for a No4 MK1(T) Enfield - after reading I am even more tempted not to sell - but the thoughts of the house that I am building ...

    “Is my Lee Enfield sniper rifle a fake

    Thank you again for the help,

    Matthew

    P.S. I also found one for sale for $6k at Cabela's http://www.cabelas.com/gun-inventory...-enfield.shtml

    Mine looks like this one very much - the rifle might be in a little worse shape - but the scope is every bit as nice - and I have the box (numbers matching)

    the $6K sniper is in my local Cabela's so, if anyone is interested, I could have a peek when I go to pick up my No4 Mk1/2 that I have been drooling over....
