Today I was gifted a family gun I saw once in the early 1960’s. It was carried by a man who introduced me to deer hunting. When I got home and took it out of the case here is what I’ve now got.
Mark 4 #1 1942. Bolt and stock band serial numbers match
Bolt head is an#3
It’s been sporterized.
Barrel has been cut back to 21 1/2”. A modern ramp front sight soldered on with a drift adjustable blade front sight.
The 600meter peep has been ground off and made into a V notch. Hopefully it will shoot close to poa.
Forend of stock has been cutoff and rounded ahead of the sling swivel and car touches removed.
No rust, scratches. Bore is immaculate.
With it came 2 partial boxes of remington ammo. One is priced $5.15 so, that probably dates to the 1970’s. And a box of Winchester.
Ribs dies with shell holder,
About 50 pieces of unaired Remington brass and some hornady .312“ 50 gr. soft points.
I’ll get a Lee Loader so I can neck size only my fired cases.
I’ve never had a Lee Enfield, ought to be interesting.
