This book helped me to identify my gun, and understand a lot more about it. It is a pleasure to read and gives lots of details. The book covers all No 4 models, including the sniper.

Tha last part of the book is a reprint of the sniper manual. A good book for a good gun.

This book really is a basic introduction to Lee Enfield rifles. After ordering books from Charles R Stratton and Ian Skennerton I found Alan Petrillo's book lacking in detail. I was able to learn more about the Lee Enfield rifle by surfing the web while I was waiting for this book to arrive. My suggestion is don't waste your money on this book.

The books are of a great value to a rifleman, collector and researcher. The books contain valuable information which does not normally appear in British service manuals. A GREAT BUY!!!

While not the detailed information I was looking for there was more than I had anticipated for regarding the Sniper version of this rifle. Well worth the money.

If you have a Lee Enfield rifle and need some clarification about its history or are just interested in learning about one of the most famous commonwealth rifles in history I would definitely suggest this book. The one downside is it could go into more detail in some subjects like the various manufacturer markings where they were and the small details and there could have been some more lengthy explanation on some subjects but for what it is and what its worth is a good buy.

This book arrived quickly, proving very helpful in identifying a rifle and the versions of its parts. Well written, clear, and well organized.

I recently purchased my first Lee-Enfield, a No 4, MK 2 made in 1955. This book is moderately helpful but does not have the detail I was looking for. It certainly is not expensive and is worth the $16.99 (including shipping) that I paid. I may buy the much more expensive book by Ian Skennerton to get a much more comprehensive look at the Enfields.

A fine summary of the variants of the Lee Enfield Number 4 rifle.
