Thread: Lee Enfield No4 Mk2 - even a blind chook . . .

. . . finds a worm occasionally.

So my brother in law announces he is coming out with 3x 303's that I can have if I want, and duly turns up with a bundle of stuff wrapped up in a curtain . . .

First out is a No1 Mk3, cut down with a shortened barrel and pretty hideous stock, bore very dark but at least I find a bolt in there with a matching serial number - belonged to his Dad (my FIL)

Second out is another No1 Mk3, also cut down but with a somewhat nicer stock, bore also dark, but again a matching bolt.

Lastly a No4 - hmmm this looks interesting, bolt matches. Oh its a No 4 Mk2, even better, he tells me he bought it "as new" with a newly fitted barrel from Allan Millar's Gunshop (in Dunners) in 1982. Barrel looked a bit dark but after he left I put a few patches and a jug of boiling water through it, and guess what, its as bright as a button!! So I have acquired a really nice "Fulton Regulated" 4/53 marked No.4 Mk2 in totally original condition and what did I give ?? - well I had to confess to him he'd done me a good turn so I traded him an air-rifle "complete with scope" for it!! Hahahaha

Pictures later (my son is off with it gloating to his mates)!

Oh and yes I'll sell the others, will put them up tonight.
