New guy here looking to pick the brains of people far more knowledgeable than me! I picked up a No.4 Mk1 the other day that was stamped US Property. From what I have gathered so far that would make it a Lend/Lease rifle, however there is no date stamped on it, but quite a few other proof marks that make it look like it at least went to Englandicon at some point.

This rifle was modified to a sporter at some point. The stock has been cut down, hand-guards missing, and part of the barrel has been hacked off.



This leads me to an important question, if I get a new barrel to replace the current one, will any surplus No. 4 barrel work? Were the American produced No. 4's identical to those produced by Britain in terms of threading of barrels and other parts such as stock sets?




I know that restoring this rifle is going to cost more than it is actually worth, but it is just something that I want to do!

Thanks in advance!!
JB.
