    New No4 MKII's...consecutive serial numbers

    I just glommed a pair of No4 MKII's at an on-line auction...one still in the wrap, one out. They are supposed to be consecutive serial numbers.

    "UF 55's"

    Nice catch, we used to see those around some years back and many were bought just to have a mint-er...those guys must be getting on now and selling a bit of that.
    Regards, Jim

    Nice one, best of both worlds, one out and one in the wrap, and consecutive numbers, not a wrapper man myself as it wouldnt work here with my local force but can understand the collectors point.

    It will probably be a few weeks before I actually have the guns in hand. I'll post better pics when they arrive.

    NONE come with bayonets inside the wrap! If they do, they've ben UN-wrapped because they leave the factory and are issued as just the rifle. Bayonets are issued as a totally separate item. They even have a different VAOS category to boot!
