The No4 Mk2 was approved in September 1949 and deliveries of completed rifles commenced in December 1949 and were only
manufactured at the Fazakerley Royal Ordnance Factory in Liverpool. Manufacture ceased circa 1955.

There were approximately 450,000 newly made No4 Mk2s manufactured at Fazakerley. The main deference between the Mk1/Mk1* & the Mk2
is that the trigger is mounted on the action body, where previously the trigger was mounted on the trigger guard.
This was to overcome problems with trigger pull. The Mk2 has a transverse screw through the rear of the forend where as the Mk1 has a tie plate.
The woodwork on these was beech.

This rifle was manufactured in December 1954
The original Mk1 (Singer) sight is still present. The action, bolt, magazine & fore-end have matching serial numbers the bore has the standard 5 groove rifling

It is stocked in beech which is in really nice condition.
The fore-end has the matching serial number stamped on it. The trigger has the correct 2-stage pull.

The butt is marked S which means its arrpox 12mm shorter than standard length and has the brass butt plate.
