Yesterday's Weapons Forums

Happy day today. I'm on vacation this week and have been following up on some old leads. Well today, I turned up a New in Wrap, No.4 Mark 2 and am now the happy owner of it. Here's some pics:









Still perfect after 55 years.

LoLo. that seems to be the eternal question that I've seen many struggle with on the forums.......................

In my case it's going to stay in the wrap. Why?

1. I have three other Mark2's, two unwrapped and cleaned but not fired, and one cleaned and fired. I didn't unwrap the two unfired rifles.

2. I have some serious Enfield collector buddies that would stop talking to me if I unwrapped this one.

3. The last wrapped one I saw sell on Gunbroker reached $750. Seems to me that the wrapped ones are sorely wanted as they aint making anymore.

ITS CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST

Don,

Thank you for the kind and thoughtful offer. However, after much consideration of the risks I'm afraid I'll have to decline.

N.S. , im with you on this one , if you have a mk2 to shoot no sence unwrapping this one , i hope the value increases for you , nice catch

Who knew such things existed out there! I am envious of you! Congrats.

I'd keep her wrapped too! Although I must admit my enfield does need some friends to keep it company...
