this was also an un-fired example but looked like it had been used for drill as the butt plate was a bit battered. I have a couple of 5 groove no 4's ( both Long branch / Canadian Arsenal ) one of which I brought back personally from Italy 5 years ago - still in a wooden case ,wrapped in grease proof paper and cosmoline.A real find !! I had several 'two thoughts'' whether or not to use it - but the royal armouries have plenty in cases that people just look at and in the end rifles are meant to be used.The other I got from Henry Kranks in Leeds. The basis was '' its needs to kill, not bothered about what it looks like '' Given that this gun was supposedly converted to Mk2 configuration, if it doesn't have two stakes on these screws, something's fishy.The 2 groove barrelled were manufactured to speed up the process.They ''slimmed'' down the manufacturing process. If the pads were removed/replaced, a second stake was added. Check the screws on the cheek piece and scope pads for staking as of 1946, the armorer's standard was to stake the slots with a pin punch.
(The 3,400 includes rifles made by BSA and Maltby VERY FEW authentic Savage conversions are known.) 4 Mk 1 (T less telescope)" and were surplused in the 1960s. These were placed in crates as "Rifle, No.
Many of these guns were never used about 3,400 had been partially converted at the end of the war. The foresight should also be British - if it has the Savage "S" on it, it's not correct. 4 (T) had the barrels replaced with British 5-groove barrels. Savage made rifles with two-groove rifling, and the guns that were converted to No. I would be somewhat suspicious of the scope on this one. They were partially converted by the addition of scope pads, modified rear sight, and cheek piece, but they were never paired with a scope or mount. A genuine Holland and Holland conversion will have a 1/8 inch letter ‘S’ close to the wood line on the right side of the receiver, right below the bolt head. It should have Holland & Holland marking on the buttstock (S51). As well, all verified examples have very low SN's. The rifles from Savage that were converted to No.4 (T) were all produced in 1941-42 and should have those dates. Look on the left side of the receiver to see if it shows the original version and the date of conversion to the Mk 2 standard. 4 rifles, about 150,000 being Mk I and the rest Mk I*. It was not made originally as a Mk 2 Savage made just over 1 million No. If it is in fact made by Savage, there are some things to know: I am almost certain this is somebody's attempt at building a sniper rifle, rather than an issued rifle. Posts must center around a real-ass rifle. No Insta-style drive-by karma farms with Enfield cartoons. Webleys and the like can stay, I suppose. We are here to talk about old-ass British rifles and old-ass British rifle accessories. No links to contests, guns or accessories for sale, political posts, opinion blogs, etc. No open-ended questions (i.e., "What do you think is the best rifle ever?" If that comes in up conversation, that's another thing. You're permitted to do a price-check on an accessory, but DO NOT post asking what your rifle is worth, it'll be deleted. #LEE ENFIELD NO4 MK1 SERIAL NUMBERS FREE#
