Hi, I bought my first Enfield the other day, it was calling my name, and needs some love, but once I get it cleaned up it should look nice. I'm having trouble identifying the manufacture though as the markings seem to be a little lacking compared to some of info I've found on various websites.
The reciever's stamped:
No. 4 MK. 1
The band above the trigger guard is stamped:
R.O.F. (there's no F or M or anything)
41
22999
The end of the barrel is stamped:
303 2 . 22"
18 . 5 TONS
The stock is stamped:
22999 near the barrel end
and
FR on the butt stock portion
So I'm guessing it was probably made in 1941 (which was the first year of No.4 production, correct?) and was one of the first 23,000 rifles made, but I'm not sure which factory it was made at and if there's anything else significant about it. If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate and info you might have for me.
Thanks.
