If yall will excuse me, I am some what Enfield ignorant...
I traded into what I only new to be a sporterized .303 Enfield with a good bore. I wanted it as a shooter/nostalgia hunter. Now that I've got it home and am giving it a good once over I see that it is a No.4 MK1*. It has the regular "crown" proof on the barrel, near the receiver but on the left side of the receiver in large letters is "U.S. PROPERTY". Further down the left side it is marked "5 (or S) No4 Mk1*" just in front of this is a US ordinance "flaming bomb". There is no other marking indicating city or country of manufacture.
Was this a US Built rifle, maybe sold through Lend-Lease?
