There is a variety of No 4 pattern rifles in this batch, including but not limited to the No 4 Mk 1, No 4 Mk 1*, No 4 Mk 2, No 4 Mk 1/2, No 4 Mk 1/3 and more. Actually some of the rifles were factory refurbished and have post war refurbishment markings and dates stamped on them. These Enfield rifles were given to Ethiopia after WW2. We also have Long Branch (Canadian made) and Savage (U.S made.) guns available.
We offer a hand select fee for a good bore. Original metal finish is between 30-80% depending on each firearm.
but again we consider them quite nice by Enfield standards and certainly a solid NRA surplus good on the grading scale. They are surplus so expect dents, dings, scratches, possible gouges, bluing wear etc. Rifles are in good to very good original condition and ready to fire. These rifles have not been available in original condition for decades.Ībout the rifles. The Enfield No4 MK1 was one of the most prominent battle rifles ever produced. The Original Condition rifles are in good turn in condition. This example was made in the Fazakerley factory, located just outside of Liverpool in England, all Mk4 production and rebuild was switched there post war.This particular lot of Enfields we imported straight out of Africa. So a quick determining visual factor to know a Mk1 rifle from a Mk2 is the external evidence of the cross strap ends and brass pin on the Mk1 and the slotted head of the cross bolt and nut on the Mk2. To achieve the design (and conversion) a pivot lug was added to the underside of the receiver for the trigger, the rear of the fore end had then to be split where this was and so the rear band was eliminated and a new fore-end cross screw created and installed to pinch the fore-end together slightly and anchor it to the trigger lug on the receiver (through a cross hole). So the Mk2 was essentially a trigger performance improvement - it did make the Mk2 a marginally better shooter, although the official sniper rifles all remained in Mk1 configuration. The Mk1 rifle had the trigger mounted on the trigger guard and its location was subject to the thickness and fit of the wooden fore-end and so the relationship of the trigger to the seer had extra variables. The Mk2 is hard to differ from the original Mk1 - the key change was to hang the trigger pivot on the receiver so the trigger stayed with it and maintained its relationship with the seer. A standard (complete) 1949 Fazakerley No4mk2 rifle.
