    Enfield help

    I recently bought an enfield that the owner and myself thought was a no4 mk11. After looking closer the rifle says no4 mk1. What's the difference in these rifles? Also I may be changing the barrel on this would a mk2 barrel work? Any value difference? Also how can I tell the maker?

    He always meant no 4 mk1 never was a mk11

      it'll be a Mk I or Mk I*, no such thing as a Mk 11

        I worded it the way I did to avoid him thinking I wasn't happy with what I bought in which case I am. Do you have anything to add to the questions I asked?

          The second one down is a No.4Mk1, the fourth is a No.4Mk.2. Going from memory the upper hand guards are different and I think the rear sight is also different. I can take a closer look and make some measurements when I get home if you want.

            The Mk 1 trigger is attached to the trigger guard. The Mk 2 trigger is brazed to the receiver. The forearms are different to accommodate the triggers.
