Pakistani No4 MK2

I would never judge an enfield by it's cover.
Always ask for a detailed description of the bore in accordance with NRA Condition Stds

  • NEW: Not previously sold at retail, in same condition as current factory production.
  • PERFECT: In New condition in every respect. (Jim's note - in my experience, many collectors & dealers use "As New" to describe this condition).
  • EXCELLENT: New condition, used but little, no noticeable marring of wood or metal, bluing perfect, (except at muzzle or sharp edges).
  • VERY GOOD: In perfect working condition, no appreciable wear on working surfaces, no corrosion or pitting, only minor surface dents or scratches.
  • GOOD: In safe working condition, minor wear on working surfaces, no broken parts, no corrosion or pitting that will interfere with proper functioning.
  • FAIR: In safe working condition but well worn, perhaps requiring replacement of minor parts or adjustments which should be indicated in advertisement, no rust, but may have corrosion pits which do not render article unsafe or inoperable.

This rifle was not the pick of the litter for 'Bling' but she had it where it counted for tight chamber, new barrel and reparked in all the right places. Notice the fresh park on the bolt handle. This rifle was unfired since rebuild. Other rifles has polished bolt knobs and much poorer bores.

The one I am looking at is actually in better external shape than what Riflechair started with and is listed as having a VERY GOOD bore. It's 359 +. What do you guys think?

I noticed on the P&S site that they have one without the Ishy Screw. Mine doesn't have it either.

I think I would check that one first.
 
I just "pulled the trigger" on it so to speak. I actually like the idea of the "Ishy" screw. Considering this rifles history, I would consider it correct ;)

Looking forward to reading a review about it when if finally arrives. Been looking at the ones he had pictures posted of the last few days and notice both have sold.

So far as I know, most of them were made with the Ishy screw. Unlike the Indian No4 rifles where they were added later or as needed.
 
Please note that my POF No4Mk2 was an Indian capture rifle. I do not know which side installed the re-enforcement screw.
 
I have gone ahead and cleaned up my new to me 1960 POF No4 Mk2. I have to say I am impressed. It looks poor on the outside but the bore is immaculate. The headspace is perfect. It won't even come close to closing on a field gauge. The rifle is mostly matching. The only parts that don't match are the 2 barrel bands. The forward band has a LB mark. The middle band is a 57 pof. I haven't been able to shoot the rifle yet however I will post results when I do. I will try to capture some pics tomorrow if it is a nice day.
