Help with ID of this No.4 Mk.1

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Good morning,I was wondering if you could help with the identification of this No.4. I plan on going to look at it today, but not sure about some of the markings. I have the Book "British Enfield Rifles" N0.4 and No.5 Rifles, Vol. 2 by Charles R. Stratton, but I'm not sure exactly what I'm seeing and reading. Unfortunately, these are the pictures my friend sent.
I think it's a BSA Shirley, but not sure. Bolt looks to be Savage, but now I've read it could be BSA. I do know the upper barrel band is stamped "S" for Savage.
Rear sight is a Mk. 3, I do believe that these were being phased in late 1942, but not exactly sure.

Any and all help is much appreciated. 

Thank you!

Any and all help is m
