Interesting No4 rifle

**Maxwell Smart** · 01-13-2014 12:49 AM

On the website of a famous British icon

gunsmithing firm at the moment, there is an early No4 with cut-off listed for sale.

Photos seem to show a bolt with a bored-out knob - this would be original for a trials rifle from what I've read, pity the original markings are gone.

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.

No, not at all.

For the firm in question, they make a good steel scope mount for the No 4.

I know Peter L we are a bit behind here sorry I thought we were playing charades, so who is it Rigby, John Holland, BSA, Parker Hale, Fultons, Harrington and Richardson, Purdey ? is it that much of a secret this firm you may get nailed by the web spies for divulging a great secret to the world really boy I thought I was bad......hhhmmmm probably have 20,000 people agree with that.

A least Kimbo65 plays fair as just what we at the forum need is another endless search looking for a rifle from a famous British icon
