long branch no4 mk1* DP but not deactivated!

[gewehrsniper]

Hey guys. This is my first post. I am somewhat new to lee Enfield Rifles. I had an ishapore 2a1 long ago but sold it. Also had a fazakerly 1948 no4 mk1 in mint conditon and numbers matching...sold it! Lol. Now this one is here to stay. All the numbers match except the magazine. I took this rifle to a gunsmith to make sure it was safe to fire since it was a DP and he said it was good to go and even put a round through it to be nice. It shot fine. Firing pin is good and headspace too. The patina on this gun is awesome. Found a few stripper clips to go with it as well.

Anyway. Back to the gun! I read some DP rifles were marked DP and werent even worn or deactivated but just becaise they were in need of DP rifles. The white stripe on the buttstock has been removed sometime in the past. Idk if they had permanet markers in the 40s lol but it has some initials on the buttstock. Imported by sarco. The corners for bolt release are chipped but stays on track 97% of the time lol. Bolt head is marked '1'. Also gun is marked "DP" 4 times kn jnderside of stock as well as on the receiver, bolt handle and magazine. Has the brass buttplate and grooved handguard and the 1300 meter sight.

Can anyone give me tips on how to post pics???? New to this site
