Hello;
I just purchased a Lee Enfield No4 MkI .45 acp conversion. I know nothing about Enfields, and would like to mount a compact 2-7 or 3-9 scope. Can anyone recommend any particular scope base and point me in the right direction to purchase one?

The S&K seems to get good reports from people who have them. It doesn't require drilling the action, because it mounts with a pin in place of the rear sight and wedges into the charger bridge. It doesn't mount the scope as high as some, which is one of the challenges of the No.4 action. (I have one that I haven't tested. It's on a sporter No.4Mk1* I recently acquired. I'll trade it to you for your rear sight, if you like.)

The ATI is similar but seems to get more reports from users not happy with it holding zero.

I have a couple of Cad-Techniks and they work as advertised. I'm not sure if they are still available and I got both of mine from the U.S. long ago before current regulations made almost everything a potential problem to export from there. They also do not require drilling and they allow you to keep the rear sight in place. They do aggravate the problem of the scope ending up fairly high, but I am content with the Beartooth Comb-raising kit on one of my rifles and a replica No.4T cheekpiece on another.

If I didn't have the Cad-Techniks already I'd try the Addley that cantom suggests. It offers what I like in the Cad-Techniks but seems like it may do it better.
 
off topic, but enquiring minds definitely want to know. Any details on that conversion, more pix please. Are there any more of them available to your knowledge?
 
Thanks for the additional input guys.

There is a long thread here: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/578034-45-acp-enfields
I had a chance to buy one of the kits, but decided against it because of my lack of Enfield knowledge and total lack of gunsmith skills. I have been looking for a complete and functional .45acp Enfield for a while. I have several cases of Norinco .45acp and don't shoot my 1911 much anymore, so I hope to enjoy this little Non-restricted carbine.

I think it was North Shore Barrels in Sudbury that brought these kits in. You could ask them if they can get any more.

There was some work involved. There is an ejector that was installed through the side of the receiver, barrel made up and installed, etc.
