Yes it is a No4 Enfield with the stripper clip loader bridge removed, almost guaranteed to be in .303 Brit, these have one of the best sporter magazine I have used, I have Santa Fe MKIII mags for use in my Speeders when hunting with them.

We have 100s of No4 & MKIII Parker & Hale sporters here in different grades.
 
Some No.4s were made in 308 weren’t they? I would still bet on 303.
Yes some but I don't think Golden State did any conversions on them, still a little border line & need more work on ejector and/or special magazine .
 
I had or might still have one exactly like it, mine is a 303.
 
Interesting conundrum. My first thought was, for some reason, 45/70. I have seen a couple.
But, most likely 303.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
