Description:

This is a 1943 production British Lee Enfield with drift adjustable front sight and flip up elevation adjustable rear sight. The left side of the receiver is crudely marked "No. 4 MK. 1", the left side of the butt socket is marked "M47C/1943/ENGLAND/AU0792/TR". There were over 26,000 of these rifles manufactured. They were used from WWII into the 1960s. It is mounted with a smooth semi-pistol grip walnut stock and forend set with a removable screw-on wooden cheekpiece and a smooth aluminum buttplate with compartment (cleaning rod not included). The underside of the stock directly behind the grip area is stamped "S51". Comes with a No. 32 MK1 sniper scope that is marked on top of the tube "TEL. STG. No. 32 MK1/H.B.M. Co. O.S.165 (remaining numbers under scope ring)/REGD.N11343/arrow". The mounting bracket is numbered "C37771". Comes in a wooden crate with green painted exterior and rope handles. The inside of the lid has ink stamp, chalk, paint and pencil markings.

Rating Definition:

Very good as arsenal refurbished/refinished. The rifle retains 85% black finish with some wear on the front barrel band and muzzle. The magazine has a smooth dark mottled patina. The stock is very good with some scattered minor nicks and dents. The action is fine. The crate is good with a few minor cracks, paint chipping, a latch absent on one side and the hinge and latch absent on the other. The crate lid does not close with the rifle inside. One hinge and some screws are replacement parts.
