My "Enfields"

Post by BOLOMK1 » Sat Mar 31, 2007 7:52 pm

<img src=http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283 ... 122004.jpg [/pic]

No.4 Mk2 ser# 330507 Fazakerly and M1917 .30-'06 ser#40764.

The No.4 has a very fine bore and shoots well.I may try cast in it someday.The 1917 has little useable rifling and needs a new bbl.

You just beat me to it Adam.

I concur though, nice rifles.

Sorry 'bout the size,still learning.

The slings are ones I made.The 1917 used salvaged hardware from a M1907 the other is called a "Latigo" sling.It adjusts for length by just a pull and then friction locks it.

Hi Ken,

Welcome to the 2A collector club

Post by Niner » Thu Apr 03, 2008 1:27 pm

Well...maybe not club. I have two. I have a 1964 2A and a 1968 2A1. Both, like yours have the rack numbers on the stock. The 183 number is the 2A1.

Although purchased from different sources over a year apart I wonder if they were both ever in the same arms room.
