WW2 Long Branch No4 Mk1* Rifle Made In 1944

No4 MK1* WW2 .303 Rifle Used By British Troops In Europe

During the course of the Second World War, the No. 4 rifle was further simplified for mass-production with the creation of the No. 4 Mk I* in 1942, with the bolt release catch replaced by a simpler notch on the bolt track of the rifle’s receiver. It was produced only by Small Arms Limited at Long Branch in Canada, and Stevens-Savage Firearms in the US. The No.4 rifle was primarily produced for the United Kingdom, Canada and some other Commonwealth countries including New Zealand. In 1943 it cost £7 15s (£7.75) to produce By comparison, a Sten Mk II submachine gun cost £2 10s (£2.50).

This is an excellent example which has been deactivated to current standards with a fully cycling bolt, removable magazine and a trigger that actions under spring pressure.
