South African #4 Mk. 1* Lee-Enfield (Savage)   

.303 British       

 

I saw this rifle sitting at a table at the closing hours of a OGCA show in Cleveland. The owner had this and one other gun for sale. I saw the price and condition and grabbed it w/out haggling. It is the cleanest #4 Enfield I've ever seen (to include the ones that came out of Ireland still in the wrap.)

This is also Savage made, a Lend-Lease model. The markings to the left (Arrow in a U) I am told are indeed South African markings.

This is indeed a beautiful gun, in mint condition, and one heckuva bargain.
