When is an Enfield not an Enfield?
At first glance this looks like any other mid fifties built No4 Mk2 until you look at the markings. The rifle came from a dealer in Jersey (for our friends across the pond that is a small island that is part of the channel island group just north west of France).
The barrel and action carry sold out of service marks and a lot of the other parts exhibit various date letters and marks. All of the major parts have been serial numbered to the rifle along with the "C" inside a circle, the serial number N1659 would seem to indicate that a batch of these rifles were made but by whom??? At first I thought of Charnwood Ordinance but as far as I know all of their production started with a C-O-xxxxx serial number. The rifle has been very well assembled and correctly stocked up so does anyone know who built it???
