SKU: F28
An exceptional Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1 rifle, manufactured by Savage Arms during the Second World War and Broad Arrow stamped and dated 1942. This is a remarkably early production rifle, retaining an extraordinary level of originality and presented in museum-grade condition. Opportunities to acquire an example of this quality are exceptionally rare.
The rifle bears Serial Number 5C1791, matching across the action, bolt, and barrel. It retains an impressive array of its original Savage-manufactured components, making it a superb collector's piece and an outstanding example of wartime production.
Original Savage-manufactured features include the woodwork, rear sight, magazine, magazine follower, barrel, bolt, bolt head, aluminium butt plate, forward sling swivel, front barrel band, foresight protector, and the desirable early-pattern button cocking piece. The level of originality displayed by this rifle is seldom encountered.
The bore gauges at an excellent .30350", reflecting superb internal condition. It is also fitted with the rare Long 'L' buttstock, a sought-after factory configuration that provides an extended length of pull and adds further collector appeal.
Described without exaggeration, this is an extraordinary No.4 Mk1, quite possibly one of the finest surviving examples available today. Whether destined for a serious Lee Enfield collection or a military museum display, this rifle represents a truly exceptional opportunity.
