My First Lee Enfield

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Here is a picture of my first Lee Enfield. It is a Maltby  No 4 Mk 1/2 Dated 1943. It was sporterized like this when I "acquired" it. The guy wanted $20 for it but changed his mind when his toilet plugged and he needed a plunger. I went and bought him one and a case of beer with the leftover money. He threw in a model 39 Cooey 22. The scope base was added by me.  I have shot several deer with it and my sons also used it until they got their own rifles. Have not started to reload for it yet.

	evenguy stole my thunder here - the cooey was worth more than you paid the enfield is a bonus - a genuine WWII rifle converter to mk2 is a great find , the fact that it is sported looses some of us but i know the mk2 conversions are great shooters . it should serve well as a hunting rifle i am a cooey fan and would love to see the photos if you can post them ,

	That "purchase" was made back in 1980. Took awhile for me to get going. Now I have 4 Lee Enfields and 5 P 14's and 1 P 17. As for Cooey's I have 10 or 11 22's depending on how you look at it. My 64 B says Winchester-Cooey on it, so it was made after Winchester bought them out. Also have a couple of Cooey shotguns. Not sure what kind of nut I am anymore.

	The 64 B is still sold today as a 64 G I believe. Think it is a Savage. Not sure anymore who sells them. they are semi-auto. Not super accurate. That was the first gun I bought for myself when I sold my 4 H steer. Bought it at a MacCleods store. The Winchester model 600 used in the movie Shooter is identical to a Cooey model 60. Some of them might even have Winchester-Cooey on them.
