I love to shoot my Enfields, I do as a collector believe in having a weapon in its correct, for the model or mark, configuration...as it is my representetive example of its type. I enjoy the Blond wood look on a late No4 Mk2, but im not about to change the darker fininsh on my earlier No4 Mk2 because that is what its suppost to have, and left the factory with....nor would I remove the military applied gloss varnish and rack numbers off of my FAZ 1943.
But thats just me, and not ment to control the actions of others. I like them for what they are, and If I want pretty, or shorter, or camo ,I buy a Remington 700 or simular
