Sounds like you need to fill the gap in your collection by getting a No1 MkIV

OK , now i see it , the "no1" thru me off ,
i seldom think of the converted MLM & MLE rifles [mkIVs] as a no1 rifle , they were converted prior to the nomenclature change and werent most out of service by then ?

for that matter i seldom think of the mkI thru mkI** as no1 rifles , but i guess thats just a flaw in my thinking , because i do lump the mkI*** & mkIII in retroactively

i like the idea of learning something new every day , and perhaps this is it for today ,

and yes i do have that hole in my collection as well as a II & II* conversion as well

i dont think of the converted MLM & MLE rifles [mkIVs] as a no1 rifle , they were converted prior to the nomenclature change and according to page 172 of the LES were listed as "omitted from vocabulary" but retained in stores

but i guess thats just a flaw in my thinking , because i do lump the mkI*** in retroactively in my thinking , and its on that 'omited' list as well ,
