Update in Post 17
What you have is a No.4 Mk.I* manufactured by Longbranch in 1944 and then FTR'd ( Factory Through Repair) at Fazakerly, in 1948. At that time, whatever may have been wrong with the rifle was repaired.
Guide rib looks to have pieces chipped off either side of the release notch.
It sure does. That's one Peter has told us would be marked unserviceable.Quote:

Non-Repairable ?
It ain't gonna blow up I wouldn't think. The chipping will just cause the bolt head to jump track. More of an annoyance than a danger.Quote:

Sorry to mislead, it's like he says. And yes, Peter will look at this one. He'll give us the full poop.Quote:

Thank you for the heads up
Lets wait for Peter or one of the others that used to service these for a living. I'm not sure it can be repaired though.
