I gave my Irish contract No 4 Mk II to my nephew, he loves the heck out of it.

Actually the one I really miss is a 1943 BSA-made No 4, west on the outside but a clean bore and a low-number bolt head (1??). IIRC it had the wartime expedient two ring rear sight rather than the graduated ladder and might have been the one with two groove rifling I forget. It shot well,

I traded it off for the Irish contract one, a once in a lifetime opportunity for a brand new Enfield.
