G'day AusTac,
Jeffs gunshow is on at Altona the weekend after the auction, if you don't have a win there. There are no Enforcers this time around, the one you see is an L42A1, the British Army sniper rifle, the Enforcer was made from L39's. There are also some High Mounts and Low Mounts for the well heeled to bid on, as well as a No4(T) in it's Transit Case. It is my intention to just touch these magic things, as it is as close as I will get to owning one! Cheers.

The no4 mk2, although heavier than the mk1 with its beech stock does offer improved accuracy and can generally be found in much better condition (I found a pair for sale online that were still in the mummy wrap) than the mk1 and mk1*s.

Hi Guys,
I recently got hold of a Nice No4 MK1* that has been post war refurbished.
Mine has No4 MK1 F (FTR) across the top of the left hand side of the receiver with a newer serial number (like the FTR markings) below and next to it the old No4 MK1*
Alot of the info i have read states that No4 Mk1* that were refurb should be marked No4 Mk1/3 (FTR)?
Does anyone know what the different marking means or is it just a minor variance to the name convention?

Which markings? serial number, model number and variation...
Factory Thorough Repair (or refurb, not quite sure on the R)...
I'm sure someone with Skennerton's book/s (should cover it I believe) will describe the variations and repair/mods

Got a No.4 Mk1 I have no use for or desire to keep, 2 groove barrel, looks presentable, bore 5/10. What's it worth?

If the bore is as bad as you say probably a few hundred at best, but it really depends, post a photo if you'd like
