No.4 Mk.1 ROF 1941 Early?

[Sunray]

I'd be thinking (and a very WHAG it is) that it was assembled by somebody Stateside. The BNP stuff dates from before the U.S. GCA of 1968 and the "tiny ".303 British" stamp" on the receiver wasn't done by anybody military.

"BNP" is a British COMMERCIAL proof marking for retail local British sale, it has nothing to do with the US GCA'68.

Military firearms are almost never "caliber marked", especially with a commercial designation: ie. ".303 British"
