    Scope mount

    I have a sporterized Lee Enfield No4 MK1 and want to put a scope on it. What scope mount would anyone recommend without having to drill holes?

    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.

    There are a number of brands to choose from.

    How much "sporterizing" has been done to your No 4? Many of the no-drill mounts need the charger bridge and rear sight ears to be still intact.

    Having owned examples of the following types of mounts, I'd rate them in the following order:

    1. Fultons or Armalon from the UKicon.
    2. S&K or Accumounts from the US
    3. Addley Precision from Canadaicon
    4. B-Square
    5. Cad-Technik / DAI Management
    6. ATI

    Get the Fulton’s mount... I bought one from Brian Dickicon on a whim thinking I wouldn’t keep it (I prefer to shoot my milsurp rifles with irons unless they’re sniper rifles) and I was blown away at how solid it is. While I took it off it’s so well designed I couldn’t bring myself to sell it. It’ll get used again.

    The charger bridge has been partly ground away on the left; there might not be enough left to mount a no-drill mount properly. The Fulton,Armalon,S&K,Accumounts, and ATI types all use the bridge as part of their securing method.

    The Attley, B-square, and DAI Management ones use other mounting points.

    Your rifle is already drilled for scope mounts though?

    Yes it's already drilled, but I have no idea for which one. I bought it that way.

    D&T'd for an old Weaver design I believe, I think I have one somewhere: the hole pattern is familiar. Not one unique to the No.4 probably.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928
