    Pakistani-manufactured No 4 rifles

    Overall, what was the general impression of these? Were they as well made as their UKicon counterparts?

    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.

    Wnat one one saw one and it looked identical to a Faz NO.4 Mk2 but some buffoon had varnished the thing. DOH! Fit and finish looked good though.

    I actually saw a very nice looking 1960 POFicon No4 Mk2 for sale on-line yesterday at a good price. I already have a 1960 so I did not jump on it when it was first posted but decided that if it was still available when I got home that I would go ahead and get it. Unfortunately, it was already sold by the time I got home.

    IMO, I believe that these are well made rifles and comparable to post-war Enfields.

    The wood on the one I saw was a light color like the beech used on the 1955 FAZ I have but the grain was bigger and more swirly like a light walnut. looked REEEALYY nice.
