Resolution of my collection: Repeating rifle Enfield, NO. 4 MK2 "Irish Contract" caliber .303 Brit

The Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk 2 in caliber .303 British is the last variant of the legendary British service rifle manufactured in the United Kingdom. It was introduced after World War II and is considered by historians and sports shooters to be the absolute pinnacle in the evolution of Lee-Enfield bolt-action rifles. The rifle was built in 1954 at the state-owned British armory ROF Fazakerley in Liverpool.The crucial improvement: The No. 4 Mk 2 was officially introduced in July 1949. The most important technical change was the relocation of the trigger pivot point directly to the metal receiver. This made the trigger consistently precise, independent of wood influences.This rifle is a classic representative of the famous “Irish Contract.” The weapon was part of the official supply contract for around 50,000 rifles for the Republic of Ireland. Since the number falls exactly within the specified Irish numbering range, this rifle was produced for the Irish military. The weapon with this serial number is located quite precisely in the middle of the second half of this delivery and is very likely unused, and it probably still has a nearly factory-new barrel with sharp grooves and lands, as well as excellent mechanical precision.It comes from an inherited collection that I am gradually dissolving after careful consideration. It is not easy to part with these pieces, but they should end up in the hands of individuals who appreciate their quality and history.The rifle can, of course, be inspected and evaluated on-site by appointment. I place great importance on transparency, so you can personally convince yourself of the condition of the weapon.The price is negotiable. However, I ask that you remain realistic.As I am dissolving the entire collection, more interesting and high-quality weapons will be offered in the coming weeks. Therefore, it is worth taking a look at my other listings.I look forward to your inquiry and am happy to answer any open questions.Note: The sale is exclusively to individuals with a valid acquisition permit and in compliance with all applicable firearms regulations.
