    New to me No. 4 MKII

    Heres my new to me, No. 4 MKII ....1949 Fabrinsky-but seems to have a Maltby barrel? Cleaned out all the cosmo-refinished the stock with 7 coats linseed oilicon...seems to have a nice bore..came with 3 full boxes of the ammo shown plus about 60 rounds of various rem, win, ppu, etc...

    There was, however, an incrrect No. 1 magazine shoved in there-so Im seekinga No.4 magazine-probably order online

    I paid 400 for all...not going to be a shelf piece-gonna shoot it and enjoy it-reload for it, etc...

    I remember buying one from K-Mart back in 93 for $75 bucks-should have held on to it!

    Thanks for the help on getting my forward trigger guard screw collar correct-no more wobble!

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I've seen a lot of ways to spell Fazakerley - but that's got to be the strangest.

    The quality of your rifle and the pictures more than makes up for your spelling. We'll spare you being boiled in oil -- this time.

    Very nice rifle! And, a good price. Why are you thinking it has a Maltby barrel? Pic no. 3 shows a poorly struck "M" in a "U" which is a South African ownership mark.
