    Enfield that is unknown to me

    Hi All,

    I was at a local gun store today looking for something to fix and saw this Enfield on the rack and didn't know what I was looking at.
    One thing I saw on the receiver was "U.S. Property " and ser# 8C8399, 5No4m, -1842-, Hollow bolt handle, and the stock is a "bubba" but the bore looked great....worth a re wood.

    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.

    Lots been done to that poor rifle. It's been drilled and tapped for a mount on the barrel ring and a set of side mounts too. Looks like the reinforcing bolt has been removed at the rear of the forestock. If you're thinking about trying to return this one to military look again, you have more work and expense than if you bought one already complete. The side marking is a square "S" for Savage arms and then the No.4 Mk1 or 2...not a "5".
    Regards, Jim

    Thanks Jim,

    There was really nothing there that said "Buy Me" after I got home and got a good look at the pics.
    I had never run into the Savage model before.
    Ya learn something every day!!!

    The real rub is that it is a fairly early original Savage Mk1 as opposed to a Mk1/1. Shame!
