Hey everyone,
Just joined the forum so if I posted this in the wrong area just let me know.
I bought a Lee Enfield No 4 Mk I about three years ago, and unfortunately it's a sporterized version. Recently I've been looking to undo that, but I've noticed a two main things about it that I was hoping somebody might have the answer to.
The first is the barrel. From what I've seen, most Enfield's have an extra couple inches of barrel extending in front of the front sight mount. Mine doesn't so I'm guessing that either the front sight was moved forward or somebody chopped the barrel down.
The second is the handguard. The one I have is the sporterized version that's only one piece and extends from where the trigger is to maybe a little more than halfway along the barrel and is only underneath it. Once again from what I've seen the normal Enfield's have a lower foreguard and two upper handguards that are held together with 2 barrel bands. I've tried removing the handguard by removing the trigger guard assembly and the locking screw just forward of the trigger. The stock seemed to be completely stuck and I could barely get it to budge.
Any advice on all of this? I'll try to post some pictures of the gun itself and I guess the main question is can I unsporterize this? If so, what do I need to do and undo from the rifle?
As you can probably tell I'm not an Enfield expert, so please let me know what I don't know or if I got something wrong.....wouldn't be the first time I was wrong on this gun.
Thank you!Information
