I would put it's current value at $75 max. With a mag & sight, $125 - $150. I wouldn't remove the rear sight. Once you get familiar with it, it is a very good sight. I would prefer the small mag because the center of balance on a sporter is usually about where the mag is and it is more comfortable to carry with a flush mag and you shouldn't need more than 5 shots in a deer rifle. If you don't want the offered short mag, I have a sporter without one as well and would gladly take it.
Wrong. The No5 bolt was more hollowed out then that. They made No4 bolts with holes like that. That being said, they are interchangeable.

Speaking of Jungle Carbines, there are kits that convert sporterized No4 Enfields into No5 lookalikes.
If someone feels like throwing 150 bucks at a sporter with a modified barrel, might be an interesting project...

I had to step away from this project for a but, but now looking at it again,
My next questin is howdifficult is it to remove the stock from this rifle?
Aso I've never reblued anything before, maybe not the right section for this but whats the best, cost effective way to go about it?
I think I'm back to reblueing, changing the stock to the ATI and then looking at sights or optics.

look on top of the rear of the barrel. Does it have Parker-Hale written there? If it does you dont just have a regular converted sporter. The Parker-Hale rifles are saught after by a special breed of collector. If it is a Parker the foreend is different than mine but the rest appears the same. Get a 10 round magazine for it, thats what the Parker-hale guns came with. The reason I'm thinking it is one is the P in the corner of the top of the rear sight I see in one of your pictures. Parker-hale built sights to replace the two position flip sights used on many of the WWII Brit built rifles that were machined units like the original but too material and time consuming to use in mass quantity mk1 sight the No4 mkI was originally meant to come with.
I shoot mine only as a hunting rifle now, it'll peg a milk jug repeatedly at 200 yards with the peep sight. really nice rifle.

Cut barrels aren't always a lost cause. You can obtain those kits that convert them to Jungle Carbines...
Forgery, but fun none the less.

I agree. There were a lot of companies to do that after the war. Churhhill sporters was another. As was Golden State Arms and the Gibbs rifle Company. There are a few more but I can't remember them off the top of my head. I can look it up when I get home from work.
