Stock Marking “FR”
Cleaned up a Maltby No 4 dated 1942. All parts match and no import mark. The right side of the stock has the letters “FR” stamped in 1/2 inch letters. Has anyone ever seen this marking? Doubt it means France. Just taking a shot in the dark. Thanks. Jim

A standard UK marking - BUT - brand new butts have been seen (primarily in the USA) with the FR marking and unsubstantiated supposition is that it was either a 'contract' marking or a 'supplier / manufacturers' mark.

Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
