Was the re-inforce lug on the rhs of the receiver of a no4 mk1 machined off in FTR?

ssj, have been rereading your earlier threads, I have a particular liking for the No4 and have quite a number of Mk1/2`s, Mk1/3`s and Mk2`s, none NZ marked by the way. Send me a PM.

The arrow isn't an ARMY mark as such, but a GOVERNMENT mark. As all (?) rifles made at the Government factories were made for Government contracts, they'll all have the arrow mark.

So even guns sold offshore to say South Africa in a contract batch will have the UK broad arrow stamp?[COLOR="black"]

yeah Im developing a great liking for the no4 as well, sort of a growing addiction. I might need to seek medical help.

Yep....... Unlike No1 rifles made at the BSA plant, all No4's were made at Government Ordnance factories or certainly in the case of BSA, under Government contracts, under licence. BSA did go 'over the side' in 'error' (so said) with some No8 rifles but that's another story.
