I have finally finished the process of refinishing my No.5 Mk 1 and pictures just don’t do the finish justice. Tried to give a couple angles to showcase the sheen and gorgeous grain. And before they say I hurt the value, I really don’t care. IMO this lil guy is the best Lee Enfield out there, a true joy to shoot and scoot around with in the bush.

What’s a good price for a Lee enfield today? Never owned one but now I’m intrigued.

I paid 1200 all in for mine last month. I see G4C has several right now for 1200-1400. One of the coolest rifles ive even owned.

I used to think these were all $300 rifles but that must have been the spotters.

Which model did you end up going with?

Anything specific to look out for?

Well the no1s are definitely 250-300 in sporter state. No4 a bit more. Mine is fully stock, no5 1945 BSA Shirley, matching numbers. If you care about holding value then its better to look for numbers matching , that will raise price. Non matching are fine to shoot but won't retain quite as much value. But they are all beautiful Edit for spelling
