The /53 No4 MkI/3 (F) FTR means in 1953 it was converted to the MkII trigger style and received a complete rebuild at the Fazakerely facility.

A bit of terminology hair-splitting, but FTR is this (repair) not refit. Some rifles that went to India were marked "FR" no-one is quite sure why, but "Factory Repair", or "Field Repair" is one possible answer.

Really old news.
Read the statement.
For a layman, someone not familiar with the No4, using the term "
Factory
Through
Repair" does not tell them much. In this case the 1/3 FTR was just as I stated, a trigger refit and clean and rebuild.
I've been working on too many "03's and I'm stuck in usgi terminology.
