I just answered my own question. I just went looking through my own stable of No4's and found a BSA 1954 FTR that was converted to Mk1/2, so yes Morning Wood, At least BSA did conversions to MkII on...

Just picked up a BSA (M47C) stamped on butt socket with a non-conforming "to norm" serial #. There is no serial on the butt socket. Just M47C and 1944. This is a Faz FTR/51 conversion, so It's a Mk...

Looks like Pakistani to me (POF)

I'm thinking this stuff is not MK7z. I just pulled a bullet and it just lead core ball ammo with no aluminum tip.

I have an early Maltby and I am thinking It might have been produced in the first week of production. I'm doubting it, but wondering if anyone had early production data on Maltbys.

I have about 12 No4's that I have rescued from the pound and brought back to their former glory. The only reason that I care so much about this one is that it is a very early 1941 Maltby that was...

Very early No4 has one lug (outside) not mating to the receiver shelf. It just about closes on a field gauge with a .632 bolthead. I can cut back the inside lug to make both mate, but it would need...

# 1 is an ROF Maltby
# 2 is an ROF Maltby


H.M. Co is H. Morris Co.
The G.E.W. you refer to is probably CEW for C.E. Welstead

Untidy markings are nothing unusual for an Enfield

Enfield #4's

Learning to adjust magazines, I have one that the lips are adjusted the way I want to try, but I find that the bolt head hits the lips firmly in this position. I was wondering if...

Just ordered them from mcmaster about 5 min ago! Probably not exactly like the originals, but very close.

I have new springs. The complete assembly not available from anywhere I have checked. I may just have to spot weld it or make the rivets myself, but I would much rather just buy them. But, from what...

Pulled out the trusty Longbranch and noticed a weak spring tension loading the mag. Took it apart to find a busted spring. Spring shouldn't be a problem, but I have never seen the little rivets...

DocAV, excellence, as always. Thank you!

Regarding the pic in the original post,

The mark closest to the trigger guard is of course a "B" imposed over an "L", which as we all know is the wartime Longbranch mark.

The roundish one below...

Thanks Rob! This is what I was looking for.

Are there any threads here that address feeding issues of the No4 rifle. I have a stable of No4 rifles and several of them have magazine feeding issues. I have searched and can't find anything to the...

(1) Yes, I was.

(2) It's stamped with the Maltby FTR marking

(3) You are correct, thus, the question I asked.

Pix of the Maltby FTR marking are searchable in google images if you want to...

Good info. Thank you sir!

Just picked up my first Maltby FTR'd rifle to fill a hole in my collection that has five or six Fazakerly FTR'd rifles.

I started wondering how many Rifles went through the FTR process at ROF (M)...

I have run across several very nice forestocks that have a bow, twist, or are somehow warped over the last few years. I'm wondering if there is any method or technique to take any of this out of a...

I pulled this off a #4 I'm restocking. Screw and swivel seem to be actual Enfield. The band sort of does, and sort of doesn't. Could it be from a #5? It's very pliable compared to other Enfield...

I have one of the Maltby No4 MkI rifles stamped No4 MkI*. I'd sure love to have that Savage to go with it.

Thanks guys

Should the forestock tip and/or front top HG tip touch the foresight base, or should there be a knats knacker of air between them on a #4 Mk1.

Already got this one done, but I have 4 more to do if the offer to send them on over to you still stands.
