I’ve had a couple No4’s over the years but I am I novice. My Dad got me into a Enfields over the years.
I have a handful of cutaways in my safe I thought I’d share. I don’t know much about them. Any insight would be most appreciated.

Ian Skennerton’s book, The Lee Enfield Story, has descriptions of the Skeletonized rifles and actions. I don’t have my copy with me at the moment.
I’ve got one of the short barreled No. 1 Skeletonized Action, would love to have a full No. 4 Skeletonized rifle. |

I was searching the word cutaway.
Skeletonized is the proper word. A few hits come up. Thank you

This is a very nice collection. They are few and far between in the USA, probably because they are all in your safe! :) The full length rifles look a little different to some I have seen in the past, can you share a few details on who made them etc. They all look like they are in excellent condition.

I know the one in the middle started out as a BSA. Who machined them into works of art? I have no idea
