Hello,

My previous post was lost in a computer glitch, so I will recap...
I asked a couple of days ago about getting into Enfield's. Everyone gave me great advice. I will get Skennertonicon's book for Christmas hopefully, and then I will be dangerous.
But anyway, i purchased a Enfield today from a fellow friend and M1icon carbine collector, who was running out of space. It set me back $150.00 It is marked No5Mk1 ROF(F) 6/45, serial 042. Everything matches. It does have a wood screw in the forearm. I could find no import marks eve after disassembling the rifle complete. It does have 042 on the stock, along with the cartouche ORD arrow 1956. The stock is very greasy. The bore looks bright and shiny. Did I do ok?

My stepfather in Florida purchased (if my memory is correct) a No1 MKIII in 1962 from an ad in popular mechanics. So I mentioned to him about this NO5, and he said if i wanted he would sell me the No1 for whatever he paid for it. I have been after him for years to sell me that rifle, guess I finally pestered him enough. I should see that around Christmas time.
