My new $100 unfired/mint Enfield

**rayg** · 08-31-2009 11:15 AM

Just got this from a friend yesterday, he said he paid a guy $50 for it. Told him I would double his money and he said ok.
Right out of the woodwork and it has a thin flim of storage grime on it in the photos as I haven't cleaned it up yet. There's still cosmo in chamber.
It's a 1942 dated Frazakerly and a bit unusual as it has no US import stamps as well as no Brit added export stamps, (tons, England icon

, etc). Does anyone know what the FNR stamp on the stock is?
Not a bad day as I also picked up a mint refurbed Russian icon

SVT from another guy for $280 yesterday. The guy requestd only what he paid for in 1995 and reluctently I granted his request.

Things are supposed to run in three's so maybe something else good is going to turn up soon, I hope, Ray

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.

If it were a Canadian icon

Issue rifle(which it is NOT) it might be Fusiliers Mont Royal a Montreal Militia Infantry Regiment(which MIGHT field a full strength Company on a good weekend)

If you would like to double your money, rayg, I'd be happy to give you $200 for it

Something's tickling the back of my brain... I think FNR was a Belgian marking...?

**KarlJ** · 09-01-2009 06:01 AM

Boy, FNR is like an itch you can't scratch... I've seen No1 rifles marked NRF for National Rifle Factory - No1 rifles that were assembled from parts from various manufacturers.

Hi Ray,
a fine rifle that you have.

Opps, I misread the numbers, read too many thousands. It's a Maltby. Also the M is only partly visable so I missed that also. Ray
