I may get an opportunity to purchase a No. 4 SMLE after getting to cherry pick my way through a batch of about a dozen my LGS is hoping will be available. Hoping for some guidance on the finer points of selection and rejection. Other than bore condition and matching of numbers, they've never hugely been my thing.
I was able to quickly identify at least one MKII among the MKI's. Any reason for preference there?
There's also a fairly clean Eddystone P14 among the batch. Missing the volley sight, but otherwise OK at quick inspection. Pretty sure I wouldn't have to sweat the stretching of headspace on that beast. . .
