On my 6/43 Fazakerley No.4 Mk.1 barrel is the marking ` R 5 ` stamped
on the barrel top just forward of the knox form. Anyone tell me what it means
would be great.

I have seen the marking CE1967 on the metal caps of some no.4mk.1 forends.
Can someone tell me what it stands for?
Would it be a post war manufacturers code?? Thanks.

I have a No.4 Mk.1 front sight with the marking ROF B
What factory would this have been? thanks

What`s the best substance to remove grimy storage grease from a Lee Enfield furniture?
I do NOT want to damage or remove the finish, just the heavy, grimy black grease. Thanks!

Patt14No2: I have already looked at the videos & I am satisfied. The rifle also has some
contractor marks that I haven`t seen before e.g. TEC ( in a circle), Trafalgar Engineering Co. & V.N.S. -...

I don`t have a Bren Gun or a No.4Mk.1 T nor am I likely to, given the prices nowadays!
So I thought to resell or trade the sling for a 46" one, but thanks to Brian`s comment

Hi;
Why were the Lee Enfield web slings made in different lengths?
Several that i have installed on my rifles are all approx. 46" long.

Again Peter thanks for the knowledge and help
best
Phil.

Thank you, Peter! It`s what i wanted to hear. The forend fits snuggly, but the buttstock wrist
has to be fitted a bit!! Would you stamp the serial # onto the foreend or leave well enough alone? All...

If you have a No.4Mk.1* in what appears to be its original stock, but that stock has been

Just another thought though, and maybe a rather stupid question, but is this to say that
all `42 LB Lee Enfields were stocked with the mag.cut-out forends?? Or
was NON Cut-Out forends used on them...

A great help!! Thanks Phil.

Were they used by Long Branch throughout the war years? that is to say would LB have installed one on a `43-`45 rifle or just on `41-`42 rifles?
Were they used as replacement or for FTR work?
I...
