My friend's has the original, un-refinished wood, which still bears some armory markings stamped into it, but the wood is much newer looking than the rifles pictured here, and it is much lighter in color (if I remember correctly).subsonic wrote:It's hard to say.

Re: My new Ishapore Enfield 2A rebuild
Question for you Enfield guys...
A friend of mine from my Bible study has a British made (Maltby) No.4 Mk I in extremely good condition, chambered in .303 British. The wood is in very good shape. The round count must not be that high because the barrel is in very good condition, and it comes with the original leather sling and bayonet with scabbard.
The receiver is stamped "1944" and serial number is BO 188XX. I haven't looked at it up close in a while, but he's going to bring it to church on Sunday for me to take home with me so I can take some pictures of it to post it for selling.
The problem is, I have no idea of what such a rifle would be worth. I much more beat up looking Enfields selling for $175-$275 online, but they are in nowhere near the condition this one is. What do you guys think a really cherry No.4 Mk I would go for these days?
