The iconic Enfield .. The No. 4 Mk. 1 Enfield rifle was adopted by the United Kingdom
in 1941. It is essentially an updated NO. 1 Mk. 3. The No. 4 Mk. 1 is functionally the
same as the NO.1, but various changes were made in the design to make the
manufacturing process faster.
It retains the 10 round box detachable magazine, however the largest change to the
rifle was the addition of a rear aperture sight.
The rear aperture is calibrated for 300 meters and flips up to become a ladder sight
or another aperture sight calibrated for 600 meters depending on the model.

Originally a standard No. 4 rifle, its original designation was No. 4 Mk I and this, plus
its serial number, was stamped into the left rear receiver bridge just below the rear
sight. This serial number differs from the one it was given during its rebuild.
The rebuild was done by the Armory. NOT a gun smith rebuild.
Items that were replaced included the complete bolt, so the receiver was renumbered
with the new number of the bolt. The original model and serial were crudely electric
pencil lined out and a new one was placed further forward on the left receiver wall.
Another new serial number was stamped onto the bottom of the fore end.
