Just idle curiosity, as some Enfield #4/Mk1s were listed recently at Classic Arms (the ad is gone) and now at JGSales. Their condition is generally good, but "Expect a dark bore".
I've already bought three #4s, but were these rifles at US distributors imported not long ago, and if so, are they from Canada, or much more distant countries?
They must be scarce, or are not allowed to be exported from many foreign countries.
They were being destroyed in gun shops in South Africa months ago.
A guy at "Gunboards" has a friend there who walked into a shop and witnessed Enfields (and Brens) being destroyed. He was shocked at the senseless waste.
There are British/Euro "arms control" groups who use citizens' tax money to pay numerous countries to destroy both fully auto (AK etc) and even old bolt-action WW2-era rifles.
