It's a Bloody Enfield!!!

[jobu07]

The recent thread featuring the photo a certain member's new No 4 Enfield really got me drooling. So I figured we could all use some Enfield eye candy. Post'em if ya gotem!

Here's mine to start things off.

 

[M110]

Heres my #4, and #5. Ignore the bubba stock on the #5.

Heres the #5 with a repo stock set. I'm On the look out for a real #5 JC stock if anyone is sellin.

 

[jobu07]

Both are very nice rifles... Bubba stock or not

I wish I could get mine to photograph like that.

Thats a pic of my No1Mk3 SMLE in 45-70 This gun predates the Gibbs rifle's release of the guns by 5 years. The rifle appears unaltered to the casual glance,but the muzzle hole certainly is a big clue.

 

[Mr. X]

the muzzle hole certainly is a big clue.

As is the barrel protruding about 2 1/2 inches past the nosecap.

My Ishy 2A1 7.62

My Long Branch No. 4, .303, brought to America from France by a vet

 

[triage1998]

Here is a 1955 No4 MkII "Irish contract" This is the first firearm I ever purchased

 

[jobu07]

Wow...... there are definatly some beautiful Enfields here guys. I'm jealous!

 

[El Rojo]

I sold my Ishy because the front sight always managed to fly off after a few rounds. I need to get a genuine Enfield. So many guns, so little money.

 

[cslinger]

Here are my two. One that missed WWII and spents it's life in arsenal wrap waiting for me to come along and another that has been there done that. The NO.4 is also a '55 Irish contract and is new to the collection and freshly cleaned. The NO.5 is a war baby that has most certainly seen better days and has most likely seen a jungle or two by the looks of her.

Oh goody! An Enfield thread! Nice rifles guys!!

Some of my children....

Top to bottom: 1917 ShtLE, 1942 Lithgow, Ishapore, 1943 Fazakerley No4 Mk1/2 (Fazakerley FTR 1957), 1944 BSA/Shirley Enfield No4 Mk1, 1949 Fazakerley Enfield No4 Mk1, and last is a Longbranch No4 some unthoughtful oaf converted to a No5 - but they did a really good job...

And two not present for the previous family photo: a 1946 Fazakerly No5 Mk1

and a U.S. Property Marked Savage No4 Mk1* (1943?)

I kinda like Enfields ...

[swingset]

Oh, here's a couple new acquisitions...

1949 Fazakerly No4mk1/2

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Great threads! Enfields are definitely some of the prettiest milsurps out there in my opinion. They just have character. What are #5s running these days (repro or real)?

 

[Bridger]

I just have one, a No4Mk1 Savage "U.S. Property". It's nice, I just wish there was surplus .303 as cheap as 8mm and 7.62x54R around. I think I have less than 100 rounds through it since I got it in September

Here it is straight out of the box:

 

[noonanda]

here is my #4 Mk 1/2 maltby 1944, FTR'ed at Fazakerly in 54 or 55

I also have a Ishapore #1 Mk 3* FR'ed in 46

 

[Myself]

Dis claymore - I did not take the photos, if I did they would not be as nice. I do however have the rifles. Photos are by the person from whom I purchased the guns. My first photo post in a thread. Yea.

 

[Mr. X]

Dis claymore

How is this different from 'dat claymore'?

 

[Myself]

Just love that phone nettick spelling sometime.

 

[Gewehr98]

A smattering of SMLE's. A cacophany of carbines.

My turn.

1917 Enfield Lock NoIMkIII* SMLE:



A 1945 BSA-Shirley No5MkI Jungle Carbine:



A 1941 Lithgow NoIMkIII*, new Aussie coachwood and Weaver K4:

 

[user203]

Would someone be so kind as to let me know where I can find out how old my Mk III is by the serial #

Thanks in advance!

 

[Silent-Snail]

Do they make Bayos for the No.4 Mk.1 that look like a knife? I just can't get past the silly looking spike and blade ones I always see.

 

[Mr. X]

The Indians shortened the 1907 bayonet, IIRC, so the blade is around 11" instead of 17 or so.

 

[Silent-Snail]

But it's the long kind that I like. (and not for that reason )

 

[Mr. X]

I think AIM and SOG had the 1907 patterns recently. I bought one from SOG around 2 years ago.



EDIT: I see you were ONLY asking about the #4, in which case the answer would seem to be a "NO" from my experience.
