Need Help identifying My No4 MK1/2

[Peter Laidler]

Max was right (thread 3). Your rifle was originally made as a No4 Mk1 at Fazakerley in Liverpool and was returned there during the huge Factory Repair programme in the early 50's (1951 in your case) to be totally rebuilt and converted to the later Mk1/2 specification. The A after the serial number indicates to Armourers that, in short, some component parts fitted to the body are not truly interchangeable and will need careful hand fitting in the future.
