The cost of Lee Enfield No4's since I started in 2003 @ $250 the lowest price I paid, and now at a gun show paying $1100 for pretty much the same condition. I've paid everything in between for the rest of them.

Hi All, does anyone know what Enfield this is from? Its 26” long has a magazine cut off cutaway and holes for volley sights. Initially I thought it was for a SMLE but then I noticed it doesn’t have a big enough cut away for the nose cap. Could this be for a 1896 cavalry carbine ?
