Brian Dick,
Thanks for the input. I had assumed that someone replaced the wood, but was curious if it had been a complete set or pieces. I was also curous as to what they ment.
I've seen...

Thanks for taking the time to provide information. That sounds interesting. Wish I could hear more about your work, procedures, and some of the technical problems you ran into....
Browningautorifle,
No, that's not far. The question is the barrels that were used on your builds. If you did not rebarrel, then I assume you were using barreled receivers and rifles that needed...
Take note of the squared "S" mark on the ring. I thought it was a Savage made part, not S.A.
The band itself is Long Branch marked.
Mixed refinished parts that I thought was consistant with...
RobD,
Thanks for not asking about the receiver. The markings on the stock that I previously had never seen before, at first glance, looked like alien marks from a crashed UFO. I'll attach...
In the interest of Enfield truths (fun, debate, historical learning, and education), in a day or so I will start a new thread with more pictures of the receiver body. It will be an opportunity for...
Peter,
Anything is possible. /2 and /3 Enfields are a little more rare, but no premium is paid for them. There is no reason for someone to go to the trouble of not only marking it, but...
I don't want to get off the barrel subject, but I thought I should mention that I am researching the distinct possibility that this rifle is a South African Enfield. I found a few marks on the stock...
Myself, I would have not referred to it as an FTR, but then I have very little experience with the Enfields. Many others on this forum and other forums I've read keep wanting to refer to the upgrade...
Here are some pictures of the /3 modification. These were taken the other day when I took her apart for quick acceptance inspection. I had only a few days to accept the rifle or return it and get a...
If you look at one of the pictures at the begining of this thread you can see the cut for simplified bolt removal as all No 4 Mk 1* rifles have. One picture shows the markings on the left side of...
With out a date on the barrel, and a marked FTR date, it's difficult to figure out when it was upgraded. The barrel looks like what Stratton's book referred to as a "First Variation" barrel, which...
If you notice, the crossed flags proof mark has no crown or letters included. Its just crossed flags. One of the inspection marks includes a crown, a Z1 or 21, and the letter E on it's side. I...
Yes, I know it was test fired after upgrade. I ment that it it appears not to have been fired as an issued rifle. I fitted a new bolt assembly on an older No4 Mk1 action, and after 20 rounds of...
I'm new here and this is my first post. I hope the pics attach ok.
I have a newly aquired 1942 Long Branch No.4 Mk1*/3. I'm trying to ID the barrel on it. I had assumed it was re-barreled...
Greetings all,
I joined this evening, but have visited this forum before. I have small firearms collection that includes milsurps. My milsurps focus is on excellent examples of operational...
