I have and love a No4 Mk2, quite nice and accurate. Vegemite is an acquired taste that an Aussie friend turned me on to. I however found that it is not a great bolt grease but is good on toast and used in sauces. Best wishes.

luke when you pull the bolt back you have to push down on the botton on the side of the action and flip the front of the bolt up and it will pop right out

Excellent work, Slugg. BTW, thought you might be interested to know there is a DVD currently in production in the UK called "The Lee Enfield Story". It's due for release sometime around Christmas and should be available through the National Rifle Association (UK). The producers where filming at a Lee Enfield Rifle Association club shoot last week at Bisley.

I have a R.F.I. Lee Enfield made in 1965 it looks much like the one on top at 0:13 in the video. The previous owner had stuffed the rifle full of grease and and i'm trying to clean it all out, to oil and lube it properly. I almost have the rifle disassembled but there is like a pin or something holding it towards where the stock around the trigger guard that is keeping the bottom wood from separating from the barrel. keep in mind that everything is disassembled, just not this one pin.

Great vid but small error... British made No4 Mk1 serials 2 letters followed by 1 is maltby, 2 is Fazakerley and 3 is BSA Shirley. I believe all FTR'D are marked (F) and an A may be added to serial. so DA21234 is a Fazakerley produced rifle.

I was told that the no.4 mk1 and no. 4 mk2 had a difference in the rifling. Can you confirm that? I have a mk1 1944 and it is marked ROF (with the engraving pencil). I asked a British veteran what that meant and he said it stood for the Royal Ordnance Factory.

Are the bolt handle differences non-specific to the rifles? I noticed some rifles have a solid bolt handle, while some have that little hole drilled out of them.

Great videos and rifles! I have a 1950 Long Branch No. 4mk I*. I haven't shot it or took it apart, but you didn't say what their triggers were like? Also is it correct that the Savage and Long Branch only made the mkI*? Even though in 1950 the MK2 was around. Seems like the Savage and LB are kind of a cross between the mk1* and mk 2. Mine also has the mk3 site, atleast I think that is the propper name of it.

I have a Longbranch Lee Enfield no.4 Mark 1, but I have one major question about it. Where it is stamped on the metal on the left side of the rifle, it's marked as a .22" instead of the standard .303". Can anyone tell me why that is?

Thanks for doing the No 4 rifle comparison. Back in 1998 I purchased a No 4 MkII from one of the surplus arms dealers back in 1998. It is dated 1954. Were the No 4 rifles made later than 1954? Thanks so much.

One thing you didn't mention is that the Enfields manufactured by Savage arms also have "US Property" stamped on the receivers too. They were a Lend Lease item and as I understand , were not technically British property.

True. I have 3 Enfields and one is stamped property of USA or property of the United States. But it also has England stamped into it as well. I got the gun for free last year and just stuck it in my gun room. Only tonight I am getting around to cleaning it up. Alot of thick goopy oil coated over everything (fun shit). Even the wood is so gummy I can't pick out the stampings in it. (common with surplus military guns) Couldnt see through the barrel as it was filled with cobwebs and dust. Hope within the next mth I will have it back to its glory.
