It Is.
No4Mk1*..
No3 is a "P14"

What condition is the bore?

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

I'm either missing something, or i'm missing something - How can you tell this is a * ? I thought Longbranch would mean it wasn't?

 

[stoney]

you do know that the 3 is next to the 4, i nevver makke mistrakkes Its a #4 Mk1* , it sez so on the rifle.

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

Haha, very nice. So, bore condition etc? Any more pics?

"Canadian made Longbranch No4MkI's are easy to tell as they have "Longbranch" written across the receiver and they would have been changed over around 41 /42 from MkI to MkI*."

The main way in which to easily differentiate the models is the bolt head release mechanism.
No1 Mk1 is a spring-loaded catch just rearward of the charger guide on the right hand side the receiver. Depressing this allowed the bolt to be removed from the rifle.

The No1 MK1* has a relief cut in the rcvr just rearward of the rcvr ring.


Anyhwho,
it is of English origin, and they...,
well,
Nuf Ced!!!
