Topic: New from MinnesotaPosted: December 23 2013 at 11:13pm |
What do I have here?I bought an Enfield from a guy yesterday. It does not seem to look a lot like the pictures. I don't know how to post photos here, so let me give you a tour, from the rear to the front. |

Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum. I, too, am quite new here. I read much more than I post as I am rather new to the World of Enfields, and my ignorance would show quite rapidly. I am sure there will be others that will chime in with something useful.

Sounds like a No4 Mk1 manufactured in 1944 by the ROF (Royal Ordnance Factory) Maltby (in Yorkshire England)
The 19340 is the serial number - if (as you indicate) the bolt number matches the number on the Butt Socket ( the trigger group strap as you call it) it should be 'good to go'. Picture would help confirm it and would enable any observations about other modifications that may have been done to it.

Is there an opening in the buttstock-through the brass plate?
If so, does it contain a brass oiler? Sounds like you got a good deal, price wise. Welcome to the nuthouse Hoadie |
