New No4 MKII's...consecutive serial numbers

[Calfed]

Finally picked up my goods from my FFL. I was able to go over the rifles carefully and everything seems as advertised...one cleaned up and unfired, one still in the wrap.


Thankfully, the import mark isn't to bad.

Outstanding Calfed. I see my memory didn't fail me (this time) and the butt size is on the label, yours being 'short'. Is there an 'S' stamped on the top of the butt of the unwrapped one as well?

Don, there is an "S" stamped on the top of the butt, just forward of the buttplate.

S for I half inch shorter than standard.
L for one half inch longer

If it had been a No1Mk 3 there is also B for "Bantam" During WW1 the casualty rate was so high the army was forced to accept men below the height standard and Bantam buttstocks were one inch shorter.

Up here if I buy a rifle I just take it home and if I buy a rifle from someone across the country they simply put it in the mail and mail it to me. None of this FFL or 10 day cooling off peroid. Beautiful rifles I'm jealous, well done.

Thanks, John--excellent info.

Yeah, California has some odd ideas about guns.

I used to have an 03 FFL, which allowed me to receive long guns older than 50 years directly to my home. I let it lapse. Might renew it.

For sale?

[Calfed]

Sorry, no

Are those the 'final' mfg Enfields for Ireland IIRC? Nice condition! Have you got a scoped version to use in competition? The No4Ts and L42s go for some coin now. This site has some Brit collectors who shoot them:

I think the "UF" models were among the last LE's made.

Thanks for the link
