Fultons of Bisley – No4 Action – Target Rifle S/H.
£450.00
Classic Lee Enfield No 4 action Target Rifle built and regulated by Fultons of Bisley.
In 1968 Service Rifle (b) was replaced with the Target Rifle Class ending the NRA’s long association with the service rifle of the day which had been the rifle used for target shooting up until that point.
The new Target Rifle allowed the use of any bolt action rifles not necessarily of the service rifle design so long as they were available in quantity, did not exceed 11 1/2 lbs in weight, trigger pull must not be lighter than 4lbs and be chambered for the 7.62 mm NATO cartridge.
This change opened up a plethora of opportunities for the development of target rifles based around the 7.62 mm NATO cartridge.
This formative period produced many types of 7.62 target rifles based on existing actions including the ubiquitous No4 which many Target Rifle shooters had use befor the change so re-barrelling and converting the actions to take the new cartridge was attractive to many shooters.
This rifle is one of those conversions built by Fultons. Based on a Fazakerly No4 Mk2 action, proofed to 20 tons. With a hammer forged barrel and No 8 forend woodwork and Parker Hale sporting butt it has the classic lines of the period similar to the Envoy, L39 and Enforcer rifles.
It comes with a fully functioning Sterling magazine, extended safety, Alfred Parker “Match Maker” tunnel foresight and AJ Parker Twin Zero aperture rear sight.
The rifle is in very good overall condition with a bright bore and sharp rifling.
A classic piece of UK Target Rifle history for the collector, Transitional rifle shooter or someone looking for a good 7.62 for range use.
