Er..... Do you mean that it is a Mk1/2 spec?
Sorry Peter, that is what I mean.

Looks a lot like the "T4" built by Parker Hale. What's the lump on top of the barrel?
Has it got the 7.62 extractor as well?

I would have thought so Geoff, there must be people looking for a suitable replacement barrel that would snap your hand off!
On the same subject as £10,000 + L42's, have you seen the prices of the once humble and "cheap" No4 now, good original examples with good bores seem to be rising in value very quickly !

I,m sure its seasonal with the No4, at times it was demanding a higher premium than the SMLE, other times lower....... I would of thought the WW1 centenary may have had an effect on the SMLE.

To be honest, given that almost no-one is going to wear out an L42 or L39 barrel these days, part-used spare barrels are worth little more than scrap value. There are an awful lot around. I've got about twenty loose barrels myself, and another ten Enfield-barrelled target rifles that will inevitably be broken up for parts just to get them off my register. There is one trade gunsmith who probably has hundreds of the barrels, given the number of target rifles he scraps to make de-act No4s.
