Information Requested 1941 LB No4 MkI
Trying to determine a fair price for a 1941 LB No4 MkI that I am looking to purchase. If does not look like it has been FTR'd and metal matches however the stock was refinished and I don't believe it is the completely original stock. I also think magazine is not original. Both seller and myself really aren't sure of what a fair price would be. Any info would be appreciated.
Both Seller and myself are in the States.
Pics can be found at link.

Seems the stock is completely wrong as is the metal finish. I guess it was wishful thinking that the metal looked that new. With that being said was it FTR by another nation or by the same person that went to town on the stock.

It's even marked '46 showing a redo at that time. Most aren't original anyway.

I was looking on the barrel and receiver and didn't even notice the 46 on the band. I also have to stop looking on phone. Why is it not marked FTR? Or is it and I finally need glasses? Would that finish be from 1946? Any idea of value?

After looking on a larger screen and consulting with another member there appears to be other issues as well. I would really like an all original LB MkI one day, but for now I will settle for my matching FTR LB MkI.
After getting further pics rifle was humped bolt re-numbered.

True and for someone else it will likely make a good shooter. The barrel looked correct and bore looked good. I shoot all my Enfields and they are some of my favorites.
The re-numbering was not even a decent job.
