When did they change to No.4 Mk2 production. Can't recall if we touched on this before but I'm mobile so have no search function.

March-April 1949 if memory serves. Others should chime in if I'm wrong.
Thanks Brian.

There is a Mk1/Mk2 overlap of about 30,000 around June/July 1949.

Looking at the rifel pictures is there any significance to the 3 sided Box around the serial number. The one I saw had that, but other Faz rifles I have do not have that.
I think that this is an indication that the PF actually forms part of the serial number as opposed to some other indicator
A colleague of mine maintains that the PF prefix stood for "Post-war Fazakerley". True or urban myth?
Urban myth except by coincidence. Armourers of the era understood that an F in the serial number always indicated Fazakerley
