    I noticed that. I thought that was standard part of the conversion, which is a really good option to have.

    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.

    The barrel's been bored out and relined, which is common with these ones. Often unserviceable rifles were used for the conversion if they could accumulate enough of them. Parker-Hale formed a separate entity called the P-H Arms Co. for this and other refurbishment work - might have been for tax purposes.

    Very nice rifle! My second Enfield was a similar No. 2 Mk IV*. 40+ Enfields later, I can confirm Buccaneer's comment that they have a tendency to multiply...

    Yes they do. I had sold about the same amount as I recently bought when I got away from Enfields for a bit. One was a matching except nosecap and forestock No1 MkV rescued sporter. Another was the experimental No5 Grenade rifle, 1 of 50 made I believe, but that one I know went to a good home. A member here bought it. I would like to get a No1 MkV again, but all matching. Also a Maltby No4. I had one of the Pantagraph error ones.

    A No.2MkIV* was my second Enfield as well. I don't have 40 but there's now more than a few!

    My third Lee Enfield was a No. 2 Mk IV*. I particularly like the history stamped on this rifle - what a life it lived before it was resurrected by Parker-Hale. I wish we could correct the Thread title. Someone doing research might miss this.

    I have a 1918 .22 trainer by PH, (which is for some reason not restamped No2MkIV*) as well as a No2MkIV* by Lithgowicon. Both shoot very well. They are great fun!

    Just noticed that the 25 yard sight stamp is in a different position to that of my 1918 example. It appears that the sight slide also has a new mark to align with the 25 yard on the graduations.
    On my example it uses the standard mark on the slide and the graduation for 25 yards is added around the (.303) 250 yard mark.
    Now I'm wondering if they may all be different, having been zeroed at 25 yards and stamped accordingly? Anyone have any ideas about that?

    Just a refinement, I think, to reduce clutter. I believe that when you look at when the 25 yd. sight marks are aligned on capt14k's No. 1 Mk. IV* against where the 25 yd. mark on your 1918 sits, the original sight registration will be the same.
