I'm a big fan of the SMLEs as well. If I couldn't have a self-loading battle rifle, the Lee Enfield would be my go to.

Looks like you need to add a No 4 Mk 1 or 2.

Yeah I do. Had them all at one time or another but let them slip away. A #4 is my next purchase I think. Getting harder to find unmolested ones now days. Shot the carbine today. Brutal. Had 5 in a pie plate at 100 yds with 2 touching. Good enough for my eyes.

Nice.

I saw a beautiful specimen at Stars and Stripes Shooting Sports in Maryville a few weeks ago. I don't know if it had been refinished, but I THINK he said it was an original piece made after WWII. It made me drool, but I can't buy anything right now. It wasn't too bad a price for the condition. If I had the disposable cash, it would be mine.

As my grandma used to say, "Don't that purdy?" Gotta be careful of the wood military rifles of any kind. They multiply like rabbits, while your bank account shrinks way fast...

Same gun you saw there was also unfired according to the owners. I looked at it as well.

Sent them an email. Gone... It was a 1955.

Lee-Enfields are my favorite surplus rifles, great shooters w/sweet actions, the triggers on them are kind of rough being service rifles and all, but with a bit of practice its easy to get used to them.

Way better rifles than the Mosins that are being dumped on us! Sure do wish we could still get $69 Enfields again!

A I graffittied up the first Chicom SKS I owned with a wood burner, end result was worth it, doubled my money on it when I sold it, I even told the buyer that I was the one who did it but they didn't care, still looked neat enough that he had to have it.

Last Enfield I had (1942 No.4, MK1) I refinished the badly pitted wood w/a textured grip type (sand partical infused) "desert" colored paint that turned out really well, heresy I know but again the end result was worth it, there was no other way to save it without the wood putty showing or without sanding a ton of the wood down, it had definiately been in a blast of some kind, it even still had small pieces of shrapnel lodged in it when I bought it.

It would have made for an intersting wall-hanger because of it's history but I was more interested in making it field worthy again, it was too good of a shooter to leave as it was and hang it up like some sort of museum piece.
