In the excellent book The Britishicon Enfield Riflesicon vol2 by Charles R. Stratton it seems to me reading the book to suggest that none of the 50,000 Irish contract No4 mk2 rifles were ever actually delivered to the Irish Defence Force. I have no idea where the information came from but it's the only time that I have seen it suggested that none of the rifles were delivered. I had thought that it was only the last few thousand that were not delivered from the last tranche. There seem to be a great deal of mistery and speculation about this.
