Help with No4 Mk1* Enfield
I recently purchased this No4 Mk1* gun but am having a difficult time reconciling some of the markings. Photos are below, but the main issue is that it has a low Serial number with no prefix (0180) which indicates that it was made at BSA Shirley around 1942; however, it is also marked as a No4 Mk1* and most of the data I've found says the * guns were only made in Canada or the U.S.
This gun was apparently refurbished in India in 1963 and has import marks of 303-P-England. It also has an "S" on the stock.
Any ideas about what factory actually mfg. his Enfield?
