New No.4 Rifle...

[amadeus76]

I took possession of a new Savage made Lee-Enfield No.4 MkI* today. There's some minor pitting in the receiver and the stock could have been fit better, but overall I'm pretty pleased. The barrel looks good and I was surprised to find the action is smoother than my Longbranch rifle. The trigger pull is lighter and smoother as well. Sadly it has the cheap Mk3 rear sight, but I have a milled micrometer ready to swap out. Im taking both rifles out to the range this weekend... I'm hoping one of them will prove suitable for a faux-(T) conversion.

On the receiver, over the 'S No4 MkI*', in lighter marking it reads 'No4 Mk I/3 (F) FTR... Can anyone tell me what this means?
