he!!o, everyone
I am new to the forum and am happy to say I own my dream rifle. I have a No. 4 MK1 that was built in 1944. I do not know where it was manufactured or much history on it as I have not done a lot of research. I have not had the chance to fire yet as it needs some work done. I have however been buying accessories such as a repro canvas carrying case, bayonet, charger clips, and a grenade launcher. I look forward to meeting new people, getting all my questions answered and of course shooting it. |

Welcome from Phoenix Arizona and welcome to the forum.
As soon as you can post photos, make sure to get a shot of the left side/slab side of the reciever showing any and all stamps. A shot of the serial number goes a very long way in establishing were the rifle originated from as well. Again, welcome to the forum...
