For anyone who owns a No.4 or No.5 Enfield this book is invaluable. Very well written with lots of easy to understand drawings and detail. This is the place to start if you are interested in the history or in working on one of these great rifles. I found more information in this one book then I did in a couple of months of online research.

For a good, cost-effective reference source, Stratton cannot be beat! Lots of details for the collector, and as we all know, Enfield addicts are helpless when it comes to details!

Having used this rifle as a cadet back in the mid-seventies, and also as a member of the shooting team at school, the book held strong memories for me. But more importantly, it helped me to identify the recent purchase of a No.4 Mark I/2. The book is easy to read, I would have preferred more photos and diagrams because those unfamiliar with the rifle, may find discriptions difficult to follow. For the collector, this book is a must, to add to the others in the series.

Bought as a birthday gift for my gun loving brother, not an expert myself but he thought the book was terrific. From my part I found the service excellent as was the price, far less than I would have had to pay in UK even with postage included, this has been my experience with a number of book purchases from Amazon.com, long may it continue!

The author provides comprehensive coverage of the technical details of these rifles in a compact format. The book is full of
useful information and drawings. I recommend it and the companion volume 1 on the No.1 rifle.

I recently purchased a Lee Enfield and had no knowledge of the rifle at all. This book was invaluable in helping to identify various historic aspects of the rifle. I had absolutely no knowledge of the Lee Enfield when I started but, with this book, I have a really good understanding of it and its history.

Excellent reference for No 4 and No 5 rifles. Very detailed descriptions of all components and variations along with descriptions of the multitude of factory stampings. Great reference source.

A wealth of basic collecting information for the beginning collector, good descriptions of various parts and has serial number tables.

Needed as a refernce in restoring sporterized rifles. I have several books from this series, and always a wealth of information.

This book is the best Enfield rifle book there is. Buy this book if you wanna identify your Enfield. Great reference book and full of details. I like Ian Skennertons book, but it doesn't help you identify your rifle. That book gives you Enfield history , this book identifies your gun. When I need help identifying a part I read this book. Worth every penny and more ! Read this book and then buy Skennertons book.
