That's close. I'd grab it.

I've got a 1953 rifle and I really like it.

Dennis Jenkins

Quoted:
Like the title says, 1955 dated SMLE No. 4 MKII. 99%+ condition on both wood and metal. I didn't notice any import markings on it, but can't say for sure if it had any or not. It appears unfired. This is not a rework of a MKI, it is an original MKII. The shop wants $450 for it.

Sounds like a Irish contract rifle. I just bought one a few weeks ago that was still in the arsenal wrap,dated 12/54. It was $400.00. Great shooter. The import mark will be right up by the muzzle.If you get it go to Surplusrifleforum.com . They will show you how to take that rifle all the way down so you can get the grease out that is hiding under that wood. HTH,Nick
