IIRC the Enfield NO4 MK1, NO4 MKII, and NO5 MK1 utilize a spring loaded locking tab behind the stripper clip feed lips which is pressed down to allow the bolt face to slide past it, rotate 90 degrees up, and slide all the way out. the Long Branch and Savage NO4 MK1* utilize a cut out in the bolt face guide ramp which allows you to rotate the bolt face up 90 degrees and out of the way to be removed. the NO 4 MK1 and NO4 MK1* are two separate models and have many slight differences in operation which are not applicable to British made Enfields.
