Bought a Wonderful Enfield recently, it's a No.4 MK1 Long Branch 1942. Its the most accurate open sight weapon I have had in years, Trouble is, it's been sporterised! and I want to return it to WWII Limie condition. The Butt Stock is good to go, the lower stock has been cut down, does anyone know where I could buy the lower Stock, and the two upper hand guards, plus the rings or hardware the I need? I also need the sling swivels. I will buy one at time if needed.
2nd Question: Never having an Enfield before could anyone ID the markings and what they represent? The Markings are just above the Butt Stock. It is marked no. 4 MK1* Long Branch 1942. Above the Butt stock it reads: 52 under that: England, under that: 7L4227: under that FTR
Thanks Guys. |

Here's a site you might want to check out. Ian Skennerton's
Is your Enfield a Santa fe or did an individual sporterize it. I have a #4 mk1 savage mnfg that I could be talked out of, I never shot it yet but is full military. What kind of stock does yours have on it or is it just cut down? Maybe a trade is possible. Pictures? | |

This has been cut down by an individual, The Savage I understand is American Manufacture, This one, the "Long Branch is a keeper, I'll take a few photo's so people will know what I'm dealing with. Do you know if the Lower stock is one piece or two? Besides the butt Stock. I will check out the site you supplied. Thanks so much.

Couple of websites for you- first is surplusrifle.com- good info on Enfields, a few articles, etc. Second is my first stop when shopping for parts for just about ANY firearm- gunpartscorp.com MOST of their parts are used- take offs from guns that have hit the end of the road. __________________

WoW Excellent Site, they had a million parts but all for the 1914 Enfield, I think a few of these parts will work for my 1942 Long Branch, Thanks so much for your time.

You are looking in the wrong section.....
Look under " SMLE" ( Short Magazine Lee Enfield) instead of "Enfield".

By the way -- If you ever need an Enfield "expert", I recommend Brian Dick. He's a "good ol' boy" who KNOWS Enfields inside out.

You're welcome so much.
BTW -- I agree with c3shooter (as usual...).
You really should spend some time reading the info found at surplusrifle.com because you will learn a lot about your No. 4 there. __________________
