    Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 Longbranch

    Looking for advice, I am currently bidding on an 1943 Lee Enfield No4 Mk1* with birch stock and would be helpful if I had an idea of the current going value.

    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.

    I wanted mine badly, really badly and my LGS found one in perfect conditions, with barrel with 6 grooves.
    Practically in mint conditions.
    5 years ago 700 € (AHHH, my belly still aches...)...
    But...SUPERB!

    The stock is gorgeous! And it looks like it is in pretty good conditions.
    I just have the feeling it is a bit strange where the rear sight is. Probably just the fact that it has only the flip-up rear sight and I'm not used to see it.
    Someone with a much better knowledge than me will be helpful. For sure.

    Is that a number 3 bolt head ?
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Yes the bolt head is a number three length, at one time they were making flip up sights because they were trying to get the rifles out as soon as possible during war time to speed up production.

    Depends on what they want and how original the rifle is, you can't really check it out... There are a few factors reference price that matter. More pics and some details, unless it's not too much and you just want it for a shooter.
