Okay so I got to look at a No4 MkI today, and while looking at it I saw something I wasn't used to seeing. The information was stamped into the LH side of the receiver "ROF No4 MkI 1941" bolt, mag, stock and receiver matched. Has rectangular cocking piece and no stacking swivel, person was asking $500, took me back, but are they out of line? The rifle was no mine, so no pics, but I cannot recall having seen the info stamped on a ROF No4, usually electro penciled.
The Early Maltby (1941) No.4 rifles were roll stamped on the left side of the receiver. You don't see them very often.

Disregard the "T". That was added a little later...
No.4s do not have piling (stacking) swivels - unless retro-fitted after they left British service.Quote:
