Engraving

   The rollmark on my Enfield identifies it as a #4 MKI.  Right above that, there's what looks like separate engraving that reads "#4 MKI ROF (F) FTR".  What does all that mean?

	It means it is a No4 Mk1 that had a Factory Thorough Repair - FTR - at the Royal Arms Factory Fazerkaley - ROF (F)

	Thanks. Does that mean the rifle was upgraded/refurbished?

	but not an "upgrade" if marked mkI in both locations , an 'upgrade' would have made it a mk2 marked as mkI/2

	thats not necessarily a bad thing BTW , just means its factory new in the original configuration , the upgrade would have hung the trigger from the reciever , some think a better shooting configuration , but i feel strongly that the historic nature of these original configurations are equally important , so id be more intrigued with this ,
