My No 4Mk2 Enfield & Bayonet

[samnev]

I got this one about 15 years ago at a swap meet. It originally came in its mummy wrap.

Wow! Looks great... so clean it almost looks plastic!

Is it a shooter, or just a display queen?

I am afraid it is a display queen. I have 2 others, and 1 in about the same condition. The other is in Very good condition which is the one I shoot.
Thanks for the kind words.

forgive my ignorance. What is 'display queen' is it deact?

Nice rifle BTW, me drooling.




When I finally would be able to get the license, My first rifle is going to be No.4.
(This is why I didn't get a deact one so far)

Display queens are ones that stay in the safe

Beautiful rifle, is that cosmoline on the bayonet?

Wolfe1165 & ph3s,
Actually it is more of a display queen since I have all my rifles and pistol displayed in my gun/safe room. A true safe queen is one that rarely comes out of the safe. Yes, that is some cosmoline on the bayonet.The remnants of the cosmline in the sheath. One of these days I will get around to getting the remaining cosmoline out of it.
