No4 Mk1 dignity restored

**jnic_us** · 01-18-2017 02:58 AM

I came across this 1949 Fazakerley No4 Mk1 in a sad state all cut up and the stock in bad condition. Paid the $75 asking price and decided to restore some of its historical dignity back. Sourced a few spare parts and got to work. The pictures tell the story.

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.

Tastefully executed and a nice addition to a bar or rifle/reloading den

Thanks Cinders... it was a great project and the least I could do for the old gal...

Looks good, and a definite unquestionably safe dewat.

That is one heck of a display you've made. Very nice!

Simply, inspirational.

Very nice. It is a crying shame all the rifle being destroyed over there at the moment. Pity they can't be sold overseas.

**Flying10uk** · 01-20-2017 06:23 PM

Are you able to explain the reasons for the rifle being cut-up in the manner in which it was, please? The way that it was cut-up is more of a parts kit than a deactivated rifle.
