Payment Types Accepted: Visa,Master Card, Discover,Check Description: Here is the last of the famous Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) rifle the No4 Mk2. The No4 Mk2 was designed after world war two when nessesary improvements were found during the war with the No4 Mk1. These changes mostly included refinements in production of the No4 Mk1. This Rifle was built in 1952, it still has its original numbered beach wood stock and is all numbers matching. The finish is about 90% and shows typical wear for a surplus rifle (These were used hard but maintained well). The bore is in perfect condition, bright and shiny with clear lands and grooves. This partiular rifle still has its brass butt plate, a tradition on British rifles dating back to the Brown 'Bess' musket. An interesting feature of the Lee Enfield rifle is its trigger. The finger position on a SMLE is designed to be fired with the shooters middle finger as to enable the shooters hand to never have to leave the bolt. This was to allow for a soldier to fire what was known as a 'mad minute' - 30 rounds onto a man sized target at 100 yards. Every collector needs one of these famous rifles in their collection!
