No4MK1 Pics and questions

I just picked up another No4 MK1 today at a town flea/yardsale event, I have been looking for a stock set for a No4 MK1 "T" I dug up a few months ago, But I found this instead, It is a No4 MK1 with matching #s throughout, Everything #rd the same, It is the newest one I own being made in 1949, It appears to have been fired VERY little,
I am wondering about the C with arrow, Seems to be facing the wrong direction for a Canadian rifle???
And I looked here and other places, What does the "PF" mean as far as where it was made?
I would like to find a bayonet,, Where?
Please tell me what you can about this bugger!

I got this one for 180 with about 20, 303 blanks, It appears to be like new, Still some cosmoline in and around the screws and bolt and sight assy.


Peter.:lol:

(F) for Fazakerley, PF is the serial prefix. It isn't a "C", its a "U". No reference books handy, but IIRC, that's for Union of South Africa.

Definitely South African....nice piece, I wish I still had my South African Enfield.....from the days when South Africa was a clean, safe, beautiful country....not like it is now!

pred66,
Yours is a few months newer than mine. I have a No. 4 Mk 1(F) dated 9/48 that was also South African issue and the bore is really nice. Your stock is all matching, but mine had a beechwood buttstock (which I kept) and really bad walnut forestock & handguards which I replaced with a new beechwood set. The metal finish on yours is better than mine, and I'm considering re-blueing it as it's a super shooter and will do basically one hole groups at 50 yards. Enjoy it.
