Description:
WORLD WAR II Era B.S.A. SHIRLEY Enfield No. 4 Mk 1 .303 C&R Rifle WWII WW2

BRITISH MILITARY .303 Caliber Infantry Rifle

Here we present a C&R Birmingham Small Arms (B.S.A.) Enfield No. 4 Mk 1 Rifle, made circa 1943 at the B.S.A. Plant in Shirley, which was a suburb of Birmingham, England. In England, two new Royal Ordnance Factories (ROF) were established to manufacture the No. 4 rifle. One at Fazakerley (a suburb of Liverpool) and one at Maltby (near Sheffield). In addition, BSA Co. built a plant in Shirley to manufacture the No. 4 rifle. Production was under way at these plants by the middle of 1941, well into World War II.

The British No. 4 rifle was a development of the Short, Magazine Lee-Enfield Rifle. It featured a heavier, flat sided body, a heavier barrel, and an aperture rear sight. The No. 4 was approved for service in November of 1939, but due to the difficulties of setting up production in new factories, it didn’t see large scale production until early 1942. After that point, it became the primary British and Canadian infantry weapon. As mentioned above, production took place at the Royal Ordnance Factories at Fazakerley and Maltby, along with the BSA’s plant at Shirley and in the USA & Canada.

The overall condition is good. Strong action. Bright, rifled bore. This example sports a solid stock with normal wear from use and storage. Markings are legible. Import marks on the receiver, designating the caliber as “.303 England”. The canvas sling is in good shape. “1943” dated.
