no4 MK1 value

[GRBAKO]

Hey got an old no4 handed to me, nothing sentimental, was wondering of its approximate worth.

was obviously sporterised(parker hale maybe?), the 90 degree rear flip sights, one is cut in half, other marked 800 is whole. Bore maybe 7.5/10 looks a bit rough near the end tried photos but didn't work too well.

Thanks in advance

almost forgot...
markings:

serial number 0C58###
Sno4MK1* US Property

Maybe 150ish?

In that condition? You'll be very lucky to get $100.

-Forestock is cracked,
-No bluing left,
-Looks like it had rust at some point.

Keep it and have fun.

I have to agree with it in that condition. If it is a Longbranch or Savage No4 Mk1 (no *) it would be worth more. The barrel hasn't been cut so it is restorable.

Yes, but at what cost, and wheeeew! Lots of work.

 

[GRBAKO]

Yeah I knew it wasn't really worth much, and I'm pretty confident the bore is on its way out, but I just needed some consensus. Thanks!

Maybe. It wouldn't be hard to get less. If it shoots well someone will be interested in it as a potential restoration candidate because it has a whole barrel, as previously mentioned. But with so much of the finish gone, that someone will hope to find one in better condition.

Personally I wouldn't pay more than $60 for it, and I love No.4 Mk.I's.

I would probably use the parts rather than fix it up. The bolt and mag are worth $60 to me.

Hi. The U.S. Property makes it a Savage Lend/Lease rifle, but it's not worth more, in that condition, just because it is one of those. No shooting that without checking headspace. Likely best to change the stock too. Too many cracks. Lots of aftermarket stuff around for No. 4 Lee-Enfields. Not cheap though.
Parker Hale had nothing whatever to do with that one. Bubba did.
600 not 800.

First thing to do would be to scrub the bore, see what is there. It looks filthy, might be better than it looks.
It is a very late Savage, summer of '44. The 1,058###th rifle Savage made.
If the bore cleans up, install another sported forend, and shoot it.
The barrel being uncut, it could be restored.

Yes, but at what cost, and wheeeew! Lots of work.

not really replace the stock and refinish

 

[SW28fan]

Sorry didn't see that it was a No4 Mk1* not really worth restoring unless you are doing it for fun.

As it happens, I have the forend and handguards, bands, rear sight, etc. on hand. If I were to see it on a gunshow table for $75, I'd grab it. $125, I'd pass.
