1953 British FAZAKERLEY Enfield No. 4 MK II .303 Caliber INFANTRY C&R Rifle
With BAYONET, SCABBARD & SLING
Here we present a C&R Fazakerley Enfield No. 4 Mk II Rifle, made in 1953 at the Royal Ordnance Factory at Fazakerley, as suburb of Liverpool, England. The British No. 4 rifle was a development of the Short, Magazine Lee-Enfield Rifle. It featured a heavier, flat sided body, a heavier barrel, and an aperture rear sight. The No. 4 was approved for service in November of 1939, but due to the difficulties of setting up production in new factories, it didn’t see large scale production until early 1942. After that point, it became the primary British and Canadian infantry weapon. Production took place at the Royal Ordnance Factories at Fazakerley and Maltby, along with the BSA’s plant at Shirley and in the USA & Canada.
After World War II further design changes led to the No. 4 Mk II. The trigger mounting was changed to allow the trigger to be hung from the action body rather than from the trigger guard. In addition, light-colored beech wood was officially approved for rifle furniture. The No. 4 Mk II (or Mk2) was adopted in 1949, with production at ROF-Fazakerley beginning in July 1949 and continuing until 1955. Fazakerley was the only plant to manufacture the No. 4 Mk II.
