No4 mk1 and mk2 service issue

**mrclark303** · 04-01-2016 04:07 AM

Morning all,

I was thinking the other day (dangerous pastime I know) what was the issue status of the No4mk1 when the hung trigger Mk2 was introduced in the British icon

Army, was it relegated to TA/second line duty's, or did it remain in front line service alongside the Mk2 until the advent of the L1A1 era?

Just curious...

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Does any-one have any figures on how many of the MK1s and MK1*s were brought up to MK2 spec, please? Was it a significant percentage of the total in U.K. stores???
