How many enfields do you own?

clinthall6 · 10-17-2007, 12:08 PM

I have 2 no. 4s (one that I sporterized and one Military version) and a SMLE on the way and I would love to get a jungle Carbine. What do you guys got?

JBS · 10-17-2007, 12:15 PM

One Good One

Dallas · 10-17-2007, 12:34 PM

doctor rizz · 10-17-2007, 02:57 PM

I love my number 4s I wouldnt trade either of them for anything. I am putin about 200 bucks into the one Im sporterizing with the ram-line Monte Carlo stock, scope mount, and scope.

Triggerjerk · 10-17-2007, 03:07 PM

I just sold a BSA from 1917 that was sportsterized to a friend that wanted it. I have two Mosins, so I'm set for high powered rifles.

clinthall6 · 10-17-2007, 04:10 PM

Mosins make real nice lookin deer rifles sporterized. Ram-line sells a nice cammo stock for about 75 bucks I just cant see payin as much or more for the stock then you would for the gun.

BattleRifleG3 · 10-17-2007, 07:28 PM

I have a US M1917 that's been somewhat sporterized but the rear site is intact. I'm still contemplating how to develop the project.

Big Dog · 10-17-2007, 07:34 PM

I have one No.4 Mk.1/2, dated 1944, and two 1917-dated BSA No.1 Mk.3* - one was an Indian Wire-wrap grenade launcher that I restored back to a battle rifle.
All are very good shooters.

K75RT · 10-17-2007, 08:04 PM

I've been collecting the "Enfield" rifles for several years. I have 1-#4Mk1 Maltby, 1-#4Mk1* Savage, 1-#4Mk1/2 Fazakerly, 1-#4Mk2, 1-#5Mk1, 1-#2MkIV .22LR, 1-7.62 2A, 1-RFI #1MkIII 1984,
1- Pattern 14, not truely an Enfield actually a Mauser.
The rifles are all in very nice shape and shoot well.

billy · 10-17-2007, 08:10 PM

1 near mint #4mk2 (i fired it and so did my buddy)
1 savage #4mk1 good shape

irish murphy · 10-17-2007, 08:55 PM

Ive got 3 if you count 2 lithgows and a savage.

mdj696 · 10-17-2007, 11:23 PM

4 No1 Mark IIIs, One of which Isy grenade launcher. 7 No 4 Mark I's. One No 4 Mark 1 converted to No 5 by Navy Arms. One true No 5 Fazakerry (1945). One No 4 Mark I (T) Long Branch 1943 on a No 67 Mark I scope mount, Griffin and Howe rings with Alaskan Lyman all weather scope (incredible tight furniture and heavy).

littlejoe872 · 10-17-2007, 11:24 PM

1 Fazakerly No. 4 Mk 1 and 1 M1917 Eddystone.

TheJoker · 10-31-2007, 11:00 PM

Hi All ... Long time no type ... I just bought my second Enfield. It's a Savage Model 4 Mark I. The numbers all match and it appears to be in excellent condition. I'm having trouble finding good info on serial numbers and manufacture dates, but I'm guessing '43 or '44 since there's no date. I understand it was mid '43 that Savage stopped dating them. My first is a 1944 British made Model 4 Mark 1. It's a mis-match with most of the finish gone, but it is really accurate and probably one of the most pleasurable bolt actions in my collection to shoot. I can't wait to shoot the new one!!!

PS Love what you've done to the place while I was away!!! Nice job!!!

stitchclimber · 10-31-2007, 11:46 PM

I have none. That's right none. Plans and cash to get one, just haven't found one decently priced in my area. So I'll be joining your ranks soon enough.

M1D-Garand · 11-01-2007, 05:24 AM

I've got 1: an Ishy 1mk3 in 308.
(would have more but permit is limited to 5 firearms and it's full :-()

Nice range rifle!

Dookiebutt · 11-01-2007, 07:24 AM

I have a Longbranch No.4 Mk.1 that I picked up in 1988.
I also have a US M1917 that I got 2 years ago.

Both are in beautiful condition.

britisharmy · 11-01-2007, 10:05 AM

I have 1 a 1943 Maltby, no4 mk1 with a bayonette she was made for the war effort, has the battle sights, and she is in very good condition.
