The #4 was a 1937??? Update of your old SMLE#3MK1, which was a 1904 design IIRC. The bayonet and sights were the main changes. Before the 1917 one you had, was a 'Lee Medford'... now those are worth quite a bit moe than either you have. Few SMLE's were a target rifle off the rack- nice ones were put aside for the precission shooting. They were ment to use at closer ranges, that's why the bayonets were so grusome.

They are worth 35 cents more than any other of the 10 million smelly's out in the world.
