| 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? |

| 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 , |
