Enfield (T) Rear Receiver Flats

[Roger Payne]

The BNP markings on the under side of the muzzle are just standard modern civvy proof marks showing it has been nitro proved in Birmingham (UK not Alabama).

Are there any US import marks on the rifle and if so are they under this grey finish or do they penetrate it?

Where the grey is worn off, does the metal underneath appear to have been grit blasted or can you see the original finish?

Yes, the import mark was under the stock on the receiver. The gray was sanded off to bare metal where the import mark was applied. The gray is not applied over the mark so I assume it was done upon import of the rifle.

Looks as if the entire rifle was disassembled and coated, except for the scope pads since they are staked. I don't see any sanding or scuff marks under the gray and the gray was evenly applied. There is no sign of the black coating on the barrel or receiver.

What are the U.S. importer's marks? Can you tell who imported it?

Imported by Federal Ordnance El Monte CA

Interesting. I've never seen their mark on a No.4T.

I did a search on the Web to see if I could reach out to them to determine the source of the rifle but they are no longer in business. So it looks like the trail ends here.

Sorry to reignite an old thread. My rifle no U31621 (1945) also carries the twin D6 stamp.

To me it looks like a 9

Could be 19932 just comparing the outline with the numbers serif up top
