To that end I just took my first step down that long road.. I got myself an Enfield N.4 Mk.1!!

With tax it turned out at $120.

The crown and action seem to be in pretty good condition, and the rear flip-up sight is cool, although the wood is really dark and ugly looking.

Could somebody post a link to a good enfield restoration/accessory site? K THX!:D

I can't find the link right now but I know if you do a search for 'Enfield' in the Rifle Country here there was a thread a while back with a couple good links.

And as always, www.milsurpshooter.net is an excellent resource for all such rifles.

By the way, the Ishapore on the bottom of this pic was quite unattractive when I brought her home... she cleaned up quite nicely with mineral spirits, tung oil, FP10 and elbow grease. :p

You USED to be able to get one at the Old Town Trading Post, in Old Town Maine!

I think mine was so cheap because it looked like somebody played hocky with the furnature, but now that ive spent about 4 hours with sandpaper, gun scrubber, and various dental tools (not kidding!), she's starting to look alot nicer!

There's one in very decent condition at Bradis guns in Camby, Indiana for $130 or $140. If I didn't have three of them, I woulda snagged it too.
