| New Enfield Pics, Strange stampings. Maybe a fake? So this is she...... Judging from the poor stampings I have a feeling that she is either a counterfeit from afghanistan or a hastily made wartime production or made at the POF, either way I shot her last night and it was wonderful. Tight groups real light recoil, still a loud bang. Real soft and light wood though. Maybe a little polyurethane will strengthen it up?

| It was my intention to refinish the stock. Hopefully in the same color. I was wondering if the polyurethane finish would help create some sort of "shell" around the soft wood. Any thoughts? |

| It's Been "Turked" Turkey used a good number of No4's from any manufacture , many with the original stamps scrubbed off and re-stamped and the stacking rod attached , which looks like this case. A shipment of Turk No4's came to USA , maybe a couple years ago. Noting the BSA "B" on the safety and VNS ( Viners Co. -UK ) a subcontractor for LeeEnfield parts and spike bayos. Look for small stamps that may have been overlooked by the scrubber. ( under the handguards? ) I'll take the guess and says It's a Turked BSA I'll see if I can dig up better info...

| Scrubbed off huh? Is there any way that I can scrub off that ugly No4 Mk1 that has been crudely butchered into the receiver? Maybe with a dremel? Sand Paper? It is about a milimiter deep. How do I make the metal look uniform? Thanks for all the info! I really appreciate it! |
