Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. 1 .303 British rifle Great Condition
Description:
This is one of the most famous bolt-action rifles ever made. The Lee-Enfield served the British empire in one model or another from around the turn-of-the-century to the 1990s. They are still used in certain parts of the world, particularly the Middle East. Unlike the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union, Great Britain made no attempts to place a semi-auto rifle into production, despite F.N. employees escaping from Belgium having presented them with the design drawings for what would become the F.N. Model 1949 rifle. Like Italy and Japan, Great Britain felt that introducing a new rifle design would cause logistic problems that would be more trouble than it was worth to issue their soldiers with arms comparable to the American M-1 Garand, German Gewehr 43 and Soviet SVT-40. In an ironic twist, only the M-1 Garand would see widespread use thanks to the strength of American industry and so could be issued in enough numbers. Both the Germans and Soviets had to continue relying on their older bolt action designs, the Mauser Karabiner 98k and the Mosin-Nagant 1891/30, both stablemates of the Lee-Enfield having been designed around the same timeframe at the end of the 19th Century. Despite being surpassed by semi-auto rifles in other countries, the Lee-Enfield is an excellent design with many advantages over other bolt action designs. It’s cock-on-closing feature enabled fast, well-aimed fire. During some of the early battles of World War 1, British troops engaging in massed fire tactics with the Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III, convinced attacking German soldiers that their opponents were equipped with machine guns. The rifles generous capacity of 10 rounds allowed British soldiers to perform what was called the “mad minute,” wherein the soldier would fire 20 to 30 aimed rounds in 60 seconds. Indeed, the current world record for aimed, bolt-action was set in 1914 by an instructor in the British Army who placed 38 rounds into a 12-inch-wide target at 300 yards in 1 minute. Imagine having to attempt such a feat today. One important note is that while the No. 4 Mk 1 was first issued in late 1939, it was not officially adopted for use until 1941, and by no means did it immediately replace the older models. Thus many of the Lee-Enfields used in the early battles of World War 2 in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific were the older No. 1 Mk III and No. 1 Mk III*.
The rifle is in good condition. It appears it went through a rebuild at Fazakerley in 1948 given the markings and space indicating the removal of original markings on the left side of the receiver. This was standard practice for a rebuild. All parts match including the stock. The finish is mostly gone from the receiver which isn’t a surprise as the original finish was more akin to engine paint than bluing. This type of finish was used as it could be applied quickly so that the rifle could leave the factory and be issued, something of critical importance after the debacle at Dunkerque. The wood is in good shape with the amount of wear you’d expect from an issued military rifle though one that has been well taken care of. The rifle does have small import markings on the bottom of the barrel. The bore is in great shape with deep rifling, though some minor copper fowling may be present. The rifle should prove to be very accurate provided the shooter does their part. The round the rifle is chambered for, the .303 British, is well known and one of the best rimmed cartridges ever designed. Though not normally as powerful as, say the .308, the .303 is leaps and bounds above the .30-30 and .30-40 Krag cartridges to which it is often compared. In fact, the cartridge tends to be under-loaded at the factory, so it can be used in the older and weaker No.1 Mk III actions. In the No. 4 Mk I and II, the cartridge can be handloaded to higher pressure. For example, the L42 sniper rifle, built using the No. 4 receiver is chambered for the .308 Winchester which operates at 62,000 psi. The .303 is normally loaded to 49,000 psi according to SAAMI. From those numbers you can see how much improvement can be made to the cartridge when used in the No. 4 action.

Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. 1 .303 British rifle Great Condition
Description:
This is one of the most famous bolt-action rifles ever made. The Lee-Enfield served the British empire in one model or another from around the turn-of-the-century to the 1990s. They are still used in certain parts of the world, particularly the Middle East. Unlike the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union, Great Britain made no attempts to place a semi-auto rifle into production, despite F.N. employees escaping from Belgium having presented them with the design drawings for what would become the F.N. Model 1949 rifle. Like Italy and Japan, Great Britain felt that introducing a new rifle design would cause logistic problems that would be more trouble than it was worth to issue their soldiers with arms comparable to the American M-1 Garand, German Gewehr 43 and Soviet SVT-40. In an ironic twist, only the M-1 Garand would see widespread use thanks to the strength of American industry and so could be issued in enough numbers. Both the Germans and Soviets had to continue relying on their older bolt action designs, the Mauser Karabiner 98k and the Mosin-Nagant 1891/30, both stablemates of the Lee-Enfield having been designed around the same timeframe at the end of the 19th Century. Despite being surpassed by semi-auto rifles in other countries, the Lee-Enfield is an excellent design with many advantages over other bolt action designs. It’s cock-on-closing feature enabled fast, well-aimed fire. During some of the early battles of World War 1, British troops engaging in massed fire tactics with the Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III, convinced attacking German soldiers that their opponents were equipped with machine guns. The rifles generous capacity of 10 rounds allowed British soldiers to perform what was called the “mad minute,” wherein the soldier would fire 20 to 30 aimed rounds in 60 seconds. Indeed, the current world record for aimed, bolt-action was set in 1914 by an instructor in the British Army who placed 38 rounds into a 12-inch-wide target at 300 yards in 1 minute. Imagine having to attempt such a feat today. One important note is that while the No. 4 Mk 1 was first issued in late 1939, it was not officially adopted for use until 1941, and by no means did it immediately replace the older models. Thus many of the Lee-Enfields used in the early battles of World War 2 in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific were the older No. 1 Mk III and No. 1 Mk III*.
The rifle is in good condition. It appears it went through a rebuild at Fazakerley in 1948 given the markings and space indicating the removal of original markings on the left side of the receiver. This was standard practice for a rebuild. All parts match including the stock. The finish is mostly gone from the receiver which isn’t a surprise as the original finish was more akin to engine paint than bluing. This type of finish was used as it could be applied quickly so that the rifle could leave the factory and be issued, something of critical importance after the debacle at Dunkerque. The wood is in good shape with the amount of wear you’d expect from an issued military rifle though one that has been well taken care of. The rifle does have small import markings on the bottom of the barrel. The bore is in great shape with deep rifling, though some minor copper fowling may be present. The rifle should prove to be very accurate provided the shooter does their part. The round the rifle is chambered for, the .303 British, is well known and one of the best rimmed cartridges ever designed. Though not normally as powerful as, say the .308, the .303 is leaps and bounds above the .30-30 and .30-40 Krag cartridges to which it is often compared. In fact, the cartridge tends to be under-loaded at the factory, so it can be used in the older and weaker No.1 Mk III actions. In the No. 4 Mk I and II, the cartridge can be handloaded to higher pressure. For example, the L42 sniper rifle, built using the No. 4 receiver is chambered for the .308 Winchester which operates at 62,000 psi. The .303 is normally loaded to 49,000 psi according to SAAMI. From those numbers you can see how much improvement can be made to the cartridge when used in the No. 4 action.
