Found a worth while enfield sporter MK2 No4 F

[CanadianBaconPancakes]

I have been looking for a Enfield locally in good shape and cheap that was proving difficult till someone contacted me with a sporter for 120 so I picked it up quick and ran over it with CLP and steel wood followed by a cleaning and oil. Barrel is awsome and shines like new. Anyone know if that Is an military sling? It has 4 digit serial #'s

I still don't know the plans for it fully. I know it will be getting shot tho soon. Maybe a moddified mk1 stock will be its end goal. Either way i am excited to try out the peep sights

Nice score at that price. Since it's never been cut down, it's a candidate for restoration if you so choose. The sling isn't military, so far as I know, as I've never seen a military sling of that configuration.

Interesting. According to the list of markings (found on the Marstar Library), the "*" on the top of the receiver is an armourer's mark indicating that the bore has/had rust in it. There could be markings on the side of the barrel indicating that the barrel was changed out.
FYI - if you have not messed with a Lee Enfield before, please read the procedures for disassembly - you must NOT pull down on the forearm, like one does on when disassembling a single shot shotgun. Instead, after you have removed the trigger guard, the forearm must be removed straight down (i.e. kept parallel to the barrel) while being removed. There are wedge shaped recesses in the rear of stock (called the "draws") that engage on sloped faces towards the rear of the receiver (called the "recoil lugs"), and, together, these surfaces should force the rear of the forearm tightly against the front of the receiver wrist. I have found that a block of wood, used as a "punch" works well, by tapping on first on side, then the other on the top edges of the forearm, at the rear, beside the action.

interesting, that barrel says "surrey" on it, stamps are hard to read right now.

There were several firearms firms in England refurbishing Lee Enfields for the civilian market. From what I've seen thus far, a "Surrey" sporter was merely a Lee Enfield with the wood cut down. I have the "Sussex" sporter where they cut down the wood and shortened and re-crowned the barrel and installed a ramp and blade foresight. Oddly, the cheap SOB's just used a cheap plastic foresight blade that was prone to breaking off since it didn't have a shield. That's what happened to mine, but since I fabricated a scope mount and glassed the thing, it really doesn't make any difference.
