    Savage Lee Enfield No.4 Mk 1*

    I have a brand new still in grease rifle. It was made in 1943 by Savage arms serial number 4308415 and is stamped with US Property. What would the value of this rifle be. I live in Canadaicon. I am interested in selling this rifle.

    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.

    Values vary around the world, in the Uk probabaly around the £400 (US$600) area but probably better to await a Canadianicon answer.

    The serial number is actually 48C8415 and not 4808415

    C = Chicopee Falls - the Savage plant.

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Well I see you listed it slightly higher than what was thought to be a decent price (600.00 + or- and on for $1,400.00) well we all know what PT Barnum said?

    Well now you have it at a price (700.00) that is more realistic and you will probably get close to that. Very nice gun.

    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    According to Strattons book yours is a Savage made in 1943 Table F-5 page 168 serial No.'s observed 40C - 84C (b)
    b. Rifles in this number range are not dated. It is assumed they were made during 1943.

    Savage Lee Enfield

    Here are some photos looks almost new to me. Perhaps the best looking No.4 I have seen but as you say it could be refurbished but no dents or damage on the stock, clean butt plate in Zinc colour great mag and crown is still but I have not yet cleaned the bore.
