Hmm... I should post mine in here but it’s for well sporterized. LOL. Mines not terrible but someone has slapped black paint on the receiver and some kind of paint or wash on the Monte Carlo stock. I’m thinking of sprucing it up a bit so I started taking a closer look at it but I’m not exactly sure what I have. Definitely a 1943 No. 4 with a Z4*** Serial number. BSA? It has ENGLAND stamped underneath the serial number on the butt socket. No markings on left side of receiver but appears to have PH stamped on the right side of butt socket. Did Parker Hale mark their sporters this way? The barrel looks like it could be from a No. 1 which I understand would have been a lot of work or they installed the rear sight from a No. 1 on the barrel. Front sight is a No. 1 or 4 that has been chopped and soldered onto the barrel. Barrel cut and crowned at 20.5”. I’ll try and post a pic or two later.
Are there any good webpages or resources for factory sporterized Lee Enfields?
Almost forgot, someone tried to make the magazine look like on of those nice 5 rd ones like PH supplied with theirs. Chopped a 10 rd and brazed the bottom to it. It’s been painted to hide the ugly gobs of brazing and holes burned into it from the heat.
