I got this and want to get it back to its original style. Can someone help me with the model. I know it's a Lee Enfield that's about it.

Up Close pictures of the receiver, bbl and trigger housing would be helpful.

It is dated 1943
Looks like a no4 mk1
where'd you get it? I used to have one exactly like that.
Got it from a guy my friend works with.
What is it chambered in? Can you find the proof mark?
I was told 303. And there all pretty worn off and hard to tell.
I just looked at the pictures you have posted of this #4 MK1 Lee-Enfield.Quote:

However, your gun has had the muzzle cut off, removing the piece with the "lugs" for the bayonet to attach to.
I just had an instate customer run into the same problem, and he was lucky enough to locate a replacement original barrel.
APEX has the stock sets on the web site, but the barrel problem is something you need to consider before spending the money.
If you want a full military rifle it may be cheaper to just buy a complete one.

Yeah i thought it looked cut down. Oh well I'll keep it the way it is.
I just need a magazine now
