Enfield # 4 Mark 1
I have a 303, that I purchased about 8 years ago. The date on the rifle is 1943. I was told by the dealer I purchased it from it was brand new, but never issued to the military . This firearm is 100 %
condition, Looks excellent. I have never fired this gun, when I got it, The only thing I did was remove the lubricant protection, and lightly placed a few drops of Gun Oil and swap it and wiped it down and left a light film of oil. The enfields I have seen on gun broker, so far by looking at the pictures, nothing comes close in appearence to mine. My question is what is the value, that I could expect by selling it ?? and or trade value. Thank you for you opinion

lex48....thanks for your question. The Brits did what many other countries did after the war, that is, restored many of their battle rifles through the rearsenal process and made them look like the day they originally came out of the factory. Kinda like what you see with cars on Barrett Jackson...restored to "as new" condition. Never used by the military? In the key year 1943? Could be, but doubtful.Most likely what you have is a carefully restored battle rifle.But what do you have? Value? Really would need photos to pin it down. Without seeing it, Mike has given you a correct ballpark figure. If you want to know more about it, go over it with a mag glass and tell us exactly what marks are on it and we can help you further. Hope this helps. 0 -
