History
The Enfield Pattern No. 4 Mk I rifle, adopted in 1941, was a significant development from the earlier Lee-Enfield models, designed to be stronger and more suitable for mass production. It featured a robust bolt action, a new rear sight system with an adjustable aperture, and a protruding barrel design, differing from the previous SMLE models. The No. 4 Mk I was heavier, with a distinctive spike bayonet, and saw extensive use during World War II. It was further simplified into the No. 4 Mk I* with production modifications. Post-war, the rifle was updated to the No. 4 Mk 2 with improved components, and many older models were refurbished to match this standard. The No. 4 Mk I was produced in large numbers, serving the British Commonwealth and eventually seeing use in various global conflicts.
Condition
The overall condition of this Enfield No4 Mk1 is very good. This Enfield has an original bayonet. The bayonet does not appear to be serialized but includes its original metal scabbard and canvas frog. This Enfield appears to be a wartime era rifle. The stock appears to be refinished but the refinish job looks great. Looks like some wooden dowels were used to make a factory repair at some point. The rifle retains about 70% of its original blued finish. Expect cosmoline deposits throughout the rifle. The rifle is mostly matching but not all serial numbers appear to match. According to the rifle’s markings it was produced in England so it is an original English rifle. The bore is in good shape but there is some use and pitting present. (See photos).
