Finally Found An Enfield No 9 .22

[Bobcat789]

Hey thanks for all the great information and answering all my questions. If the last 400 are Mk 2 actions then that puts mine out of that range. It would have had to have been the last 868 or so.
I am not sure why you are saying I need a trigger guard? Here is a couple pics of mine.
Another quick question. Should the bands from a No 4 Mk 1 work as well?
Also where are you located? Anyway have a look at the pics and get back to me with your thoughts. The barrel crown is appropriately stamped as seen in the bit all be it a bit rough.

When you restore it, you should be able to sell the Parker Hale/Sile stock set to offset the cost a bit.

Stock wood can be found here in Canada. Prestigious stock woods makes reproduction stocks. Quality is good. I have found a few bands off of eBay in the UK. Also Australia and New Zealand have a lot of parts available. Finding original wood does happen but normally takes some time as your looking for a property marked stock that matches your rifle. I’ve been rebuilding SMLE’s and No. 4’ for a few years and sometimes that one part can take years to find. As an example it took 4 years to find the proper hinged front band to fit my OL marked Long Branch. Sometimes the fun is in finding the parts instead of the actual build.
