    Question Lee Enfield bug

    I've noticed over the last few months, I've been looking harder at Lee Enfield Riflesicon. I collected US arms for years and never paid too much attention to them until lately. I think logging into this sight has started to stir up that collecting bug. I am amazed at the amount of variations of even just the #4 rifle. I picked up the book for collectors only on the #4 rifle and they show many versions made north of the border that I have never seen in these parts, mainly the target versions. Do any of you folks know did they ever sent any to these parts? I'm going to be looking much more serious than in the past, but, don't know if it will be a waste of time or not. For now I'm going to chase down the #4 Mk 1/2 and #4 Mk 1/3. They don't look so impossible to find in these parts, but the target versions have me guessing. Also are the parts available to make up knock-offs? Any information would be greatly appreciated-SDH

    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.

    there are parts out there, Parker Hale rear sites and such.

    Took me 2 years to find one for my DCRA rifle well one that was reasonably priced.

    stock bedding was another mystical art form on these rifles.

    I thank you for the info, I don't mind bedding. I'm pretty well set up for it, I just haven't tried it on the #4 (yet) MT-SDH
