    4T's

    I am not an expert so please excuse me if I have got this wrong.
    My knowledge is that the No4T rifles were only produced between 1941 and 1945 and mainly based on BSA (M47) rifles with some Enfield (trials), Longbranch, Savage and Maltby types.
    All were No4 Mk1 or Mk1* rifles.
    While looking through some old manuals I came across a "Vocabulary of Army Ordnance
    Stores" 1959. It lists all the No4T types including No4T Mk1/2's. I have seen No4T Mk1/2 rifles converted in India but none in Britishicon service.
    It also list a No4T Mk2 which would suggest there were late builds of the 4T as Mk2 rifles
    were not produced until 1949.
    Do British No4T Mk1/2 and Mk2's exist ?
    If not why are they listed in an official publication?
    Or have I got it all wrong?
    I have scanned the the relevant pages and attached them.
