    Hi ...

    Here's a link to a Q&A thread that may help you get more answers and improve the quality of the ones you do get.

    What can you tell me about my rifle? (click here)

    The Mk1* (with the star) sounds like a Canadianicon Long Branch No.4. On the surface from what you've provided as info, your rifle also sounds like it was FTR'd (Factory Thorugh Repair) at Fazakerley, but pics and more information on rifle markings etc., would be helpful.

    Regards,
    Badger
