What is a good asking price for Lee-Enfield No.4 MK2, British.303 Discussion in 'The. 1955 with the PF serial number. I believe this consignment, approximately. Feb 12, 2015 New kid on the block here. I have recently inherited a Enfield and wondered about its passed. Marked on the action it says No. 4 MK 2 (F) Then underneath that it has 8/49 [ PF 130034 ] which should be the rifle number as this is stamped and engraved all over the.
Rifle No 4 Mk 2 In the years after World War II, the British produced the No. 4 Mk 2 (Arabic numerals replaced Roman numerals for official designations in 1944) rifle which saw the No. 4 rifle being refined and improved with the trigger being hung from the receiver and not from the trigger guard,[32] the No.

4 rifles and brought them up to the same standards as the No. 4 Mk 2.[33] No. 4 Mk 1 rifles so upgraded were re-designated as the No.
4 Mk I/2 rifle, whilst No. 4 Mk I* rifles that were brought up to Mk 2 standards were re-designated as the No. 4 Mk I/3 rifle. Most of the post-war Long Branch rifles were given a slightly altered designation as CNo4 Mk1*. They are very good quality rifles.
The UK nO4 machinery was sold to Pakistan, and the arsenal at Wah carried on making 'new' No4s until sometime in the 1960s. These rifles are usually marked with 'POF'. The very, very last Enfields in regular production appear to be the.303 No1 MkIII*s made at Ishapore. The latest date so far seen by collectors is 1988! Because of the secrecy about Indian arms production, it is not known if this was the last year of SMLE production, or if there exist even later ones - the Indians are thought to still have c.1 million Enfields on issue and in store.

It would appear that my rifle does NOT have an 'official' serial number stamped on it. While it is marked as a No4 Mk 2 (as may be just made out in your picture), there is no serial number underneath. Instead, behind the screw it is stamped '0114' It has at least one W/O 'arrow' stamp on it, as well as what I take to be proof stamps on the various parts of the bolt assembly. While it is in good condition, it is certainly not museum quality either. However, it is accurate to at least 300 yards and at $185.00 I do not think that I have lost money on 'Ermentrude 7'.

It sounds like your rifle might be a 'new' FTR: when they were refurbishing large batches of Mk1/1*s to bring them up to Mk2 spec, they probably did them in batches - maybe 10,000 per contract. Obviously they found a few rifles in each batch which had to be scrapped, or which they buggered up brazing the lug onto. Download captain tsubasa episode 27 dubbing indonesia flag. They then seem to have made up the numbers by using brand new Mk2 receivers.
Thus we find today rifles which have 'FTR' marks or non-standard Mk2 production marks, but which seem to have been made that way. Some typical examples include: 'No4 Mk2 FTR(F) 57 OL 3645' or just 'No4 Mk2 OL 3645' If you were able to post a photo of the left receiver wall, I might be able to tell you a lot more. 4T Previously, I 'forgot' the serial number on the rifle (Noticed it yesterday while shooting!) On the 'arm' of the bolt, it is marked ' PF365460'. So it would certainly seem that the bolt itself was Fazakerely made. I assume that this is a Factory reconditioned weapon Mk4 No 1*, as you mentioned above, as there is not a serial number on the rifle itself to match this.
(We wondered if the ' 0114' were the last four of the original serial number?) Although the number, on the bolt, falls within the range of those in your listing above, it is not actually covered by any specifically.
