For Sale/Trade: BRITISH ENFIELD #4 MK 1
Tagged as: Winchester Rifle I have a British Enfield #4 MK 1 (.303 British of course) that has had the stock cut down and re-finished. Here is a little info on the Enfield #4 for reference:The Rifle, No. 4 Mk I was first issued in 1939 but not officially adopted until 1941.[30] The No. 4 action was similar to the Mk VI,[31] but lighter, stronger, and most importantly, easier to mass produce.[31] Unlike the SMLE, the No 4 Lee-Enfield barrel protruded from the end of the forestock. The No. 4 rifle was considerably heavier than the No. 1 Mk. III, largely due to its heavier barrel,[31] and a new bayonet was designed to go with the rifle: a spike bayonet,[31] which was essentially a steel rod with a sharp point, and was nicknamed "pigsticker" by soldiers. Towards the end of the Second World War, a bladed bayonet was developed, originally intended for use with the Sten gun-but sharing the same mount as the No. 4's spike bayonet-and subsequently the No. 7 and No. 9 blade bayonets were issued for use with the No. 4 rifle as well. Gun is in pretty good shape, I purchased it around 15 years ago and have owned it since. It has had 1 box of ammo down the tube from me and then sat in the safe. I will provide 1 box of Winchester 303 and another of brass with it for the asking price.
