I came across a No4 MkI receiver and barrel a few months ago. The fun fact here is that it was a Santa Fe Jungle Carbine. The ears for the rear sight were missing and being that I have a Parker Hale scope mount,this became a perfect candidate for a major overhaul. The front sight was missing but I was able to thread the end of the barrel and install a muzzle brake. I live in Arizona and this should be a perfect brush gun.
I like this rifle alot... |

That is one beautiful sporting Enfield! Liking that laminate wood grain. Is that stock a Boyd's? I also use the 5 round magazines on a few of my sporters, very sleek set-up. Nice job man.

Thank you.
The stock is in fact from Boyd's. I have two Santa Fe five round mags for this guy but,I found a new five round mag from UKMAGS.com to accentuate the lines in the stock. |

The five rounder that you show with the rifle, is that the one from UKMAGS?

Yes it is. The price was a bit hefty. I think it was close to fifty bucks including shipping...

I didn't think it would look this nice with that stumpy barrel but,when I screwed the muzzle brake on. I had a change of heart.

That is a good looking sporter. Like the laminate wood.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
