Section 1 Rifles
Very nice m, strangely I would be more excited by once with a Mk1 or 2 No.32 as I have a couple of Mk3s. £3K is outside my budget for non matching rifles, but it does depend how far non matching extends

A letter and number will be evident on the wrist with the serial number beside it. Let us know what it says and we'll give you the answer in the absence of any photos!

The markings will tell you. Left side of the butt socket, if it has M47C stamped above the serial number, it was made at BSA Shirley, as most last war 4T's were. If its not M47C marked, its likely a Maltby made, unless it happens to be a Canadian 4T of course, or an early trials conversion.
As said, get some detailed photos posted or email to someone that can post them for you.

Manufacturer's mark or name will be either on the left hand side of the butt socket or on the left hand side of the action around the mounts for the scope.
Typical 'names' to look for would be
F (or ROF F)
M47C
M (or ROF M)
or a Serial number containing an L or a C (similar to 25C12345, or 10L3456)
My M47c (BSA) No4T

Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

no4t
Hi All , this is wonderful ,joining a forum with so many helpful and knowledgeable people. she has m47/c 1943 stamped on wrist. a little background on why i wanted a no4t .i used to shoot enfields in the school CCF. in 1969 at the age of 15 a Mr Morrison used to advertise these rifles for £18 10shillings in the guns review magazine . i had spent all summer working hard on the farm earning 1/9dper hour and had saved that amount up ,but my dad wouldn't buy it for me and put it on his FAC. next came college, work, wife, kids ,till eventually i managed to buy one
i used to shoot it quite a lot never at long range in fact my closet shot was a roebuck at 18yds.
thanks again
