    Question 1942 Long Branch No.4 MK I*

    Hey everyone,
    I'm new to the Lee Enfields and new to this forum, so please be patient with me.

    We have a 1942 Long Branch #4 MK I* C Mark 1 sight
    SN: 3L353
    Barrel, buttstock and bolt numbers are matching.
    Steel buttplate with M 14 marking on the inside.

    Couldn't find any markings on the stock, my son things the stock is a conversion to a sportsmen gun?

    There are other markings on top of the barrel/receiver. Like a star (receiver), S on the bottom side of the receiver, U on the barrel, can't really make the other markings out too good because they are so small.

    Based on that, what do these markings tell me and which other markings should I be looking for?

    Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it and we learn something new about a gun we had already since a long time in the safe!!

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.
