    Good place to buy Enfield rifle

    Hi,

    New to the Enfield! Where will be a good place to buy the Enfield? I am looking for an Enfield Rifleicon No.4 MK I preferably from 1943. I found one online that has the following description (Serial # MK417610. Manufactured by BSA in 1943, stamped "M47 1943"). I have Charles R. Stratton book and I cannot find this numbers. According to the book the code for BSA factory should be M47C. I also confuse with the serial number cannot find the MK in the serial number descriptions on the book.

    Thanks,
    Alex

    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.

    Hi Alex, welcome to the forum, you can get answers to just about anything you like here.
    Regarding buying an enfield we'd probably be unanimous in recommending Brian Dickicon of BDLicon ltd, you'll find them listed in enfield resource.com, he's a great help and very knowledgable. BDL have a website and it shows pictures of some of their rifles in stock. If you don't see what you're after you should speak with Brian as he has more and knows of others.
    cheers rjwnz

    I'd call that a ringing endorsement for Brian...

    Is the "MK" mark on the left side of the receiver and/or made up of dots? It may be one of those serial numbers put on by an importer. The serial number may be very faint on the left of the buttsocket.

    Quite simple....Brian.

    BDL LTD Rifles and Accessories

    I have purchase some from Joe Salter (JoeSalter.com) in the past, but Joe's prices are fairly steep. You never know what you're going to see on his website tho..always an interesting selection from all over the world.

    2nd third and fourth votes for Brian at BDLicon. Never had a bad rifle from him, or bad advice either.
