No1MK4 Enfield

[Buelligan]

I just orderd one of these from CLASSIC ARMs . Has any one else orderd one , how are they. I have wanted one for many years , so the deal is done. I know I am crazy for doing it , I am still laid off and my WIFE THE SPAINARD is going to hit the roof when it gets here . OH WELL, to bad for her bad TUDE.:sparta:

[Schultz]

I bought one two years ago from Classic that they claimed was imaculent, Clean crisp bore and the blueing was perfect. What i got was a Kyber pass pos that wouldn't even headspace, Had been reblued and the stock didn't even fit right. With that being said i understand they are getting their Enfields from Century now and if thats the case you will probably be ok.

[Patria Povo]

Did they say where it was made? Or who the importer was?

My Australian Enfield is a gem. So are most Brit rifles as well as the interwar Indian Smellies.

Mate, they are a fine rifle and you will love it for years. LONG after you get over this current work slump. :thumbup:

[Buelligan]

The only other Enfield i have an Indian 308 ,and it is vary nice and shoots fine.Seeing all of the cool Enfields that MJ11 has turned me on to get another one , but in 303, Now to find some CHEAP 303 MILSURP.

I like the surplus Paki .303 and shoot a LOT of it. You get the occasional click-bang, but that just trains you not to flinch.

I never got one of those Indian .308 Enfields - they just aren't up to scratch compared to the older .303s, to me.

[Buelligan]

PP, I did not ask the woman , she seemed to be in a big hurry, like she had to use the rest room or take a smoke or some thing.

[turmanator]

Luv my Jungle Carbine....and it's happy as ******** to eat the crappy Paki ammo...

[Schultz]

Did they say where it was made? Or who the importer was?

No and it had no import marks either which was odd along with none of the standard markings other than England stamped on the wrist.. The first clue was when i went to headspace it and tried to screw another bolthead on, It wouldn't go on at all. Long story short i returned it and got my money back and don't deal with them anymore.

You forgot the LongBranch guns, dude. I bought my dad one for fathers day last year. Nice weapon....

I'm pretty sure Longbranch didn't make any No1mk4s

Never seen one in the flesh, but you're right - they do have a brilliant reputation for Mk4s.

[turmanator]

Sorry....:wink:

I was just thinking the Enfileds in general.....!

[Otis61]

I ordered a No1M4 Savage from century last week. Can't wait to get it. The ol'lady don't know about it either yet. You'll probly get yours before I get mine. Century is slow. Classic not so bad.

[Buelligan]

OTIS61, we will have to post the pics when we get them.

[drine]

I'm trying to get my boss to OK a trip to NC. We have a tool and die man in Indian Trail, NC. I wanted to see these first hand myself.

[Player]

I'm pretty sure Longbranch didn't make any Mk1s

Never seen one in the flesh, but you're right - they do have a brilliant reputation for Mk4s.

my No4Mk1 is a longbranch

[drine]

+1 on Henry's observation. I HAD one. 2nd worse loss for me next to my SAR4800.

[Patria Povo]

my No4Mk1 is a longbranch

Sorry for the confusion, I meant Longbreanch never made any No1s.

I've never had any real interest in No4s - mostly because we never used them in Australia.

[Otis61]

OTIS61, we will have to post the pics when we get them.

Ok. When are we gonna tell our ol'ladys?:eek:

[Buelligan]

I think to day it will show up. I will have to spill the beans to day.LOL

Thats great. Seen that before. Just as funny now as it was the first time though.

[Buelligan]

[Otis61]

Very nice. I almost got one of those. Still might. I like the grooved top piece. How'd the ol'lady take it? What was your approch? I still need some ideas.

[Buelligan]

Here is the pics of the refinish12184

[Buelligan]

Here are some of my clean and shiny weapons.

[Patria Povo]

I LOVE the finish on that Gibson! :rockon: Looks like something Rob Zombie would play!

[Buelligan]

If you mean the silver 1967 SG ? I painted that one and did all of the mods to it . Badass bridge thats who makes it. Kerry King EMG pick ups and gain switch . speed knobs,diamond plate pick gaurd . bullet holes. ECT . Rob would love this SG ,it is set up for his kind of work and it has that bold Gibson sound x 100.

[Otis61]

Mine finally showed up. I'll get some pics up soon.

[Buelligan]

Cool ,lets see it.

[Otis61]

Sorry its taken so long. Been real busy, like everyone I'm sure. Anyway here it is. The stock is stained but solid. The metal, except the metal at the end of the stocks, is spotless. Not too bad I don't think. Plus the "US PROPERTY" stamping.

[Buelligan]

WOW US PROP , Thats cool. I dont know who makes mine.

[Buelligan]

How many groves and what condition is the bore?

[brewskzilla]

I've said it many times... The Enfield type 1 Mk anything is a superb rifle. Even the bubbas are tack drivers. Not to mention the fact that an Enfield is a DAMN good looking rifle.

[Buelligan]

BREW, you said a tack driver? will it allso be a tack driver with a 2 grove bore?

[Otis61]

Four grooves. Condition could be better. Lots of ware at the muzzle. No ammo right now. I'll tell you how it shoots when I get some. No numbers on the barrel, but matching bolt, and reciever.

[Commander47]

Rock n Roll and Guns.........gotta love this forum. :rockon:

[nevada]

What's that thing with all the wood spikes behind the rifle?

[Buelligan]

NEVADA , We have no idea. my wife found it and thought it was cool . I have it hanging in my bed room.

Any range day with an Enfield is a good day.
