Navy Arms Enfield #4 Mk 1 .303 World War II French Resistance,1944 date , ROF(F) with non-matching bolt

Description

Navy Arms has imported a small group of original World War II dated Enfield #4 Mark 1 rifles in .303 British that were provided to French resistance fighters and commandos and helped liberate Europe from Nazi occupation. These guns were dropped by parachute by the thousands into France by the Allies in large metal pods. These guns were purchased directly from the French Government who had them stored in deep underground caves in Southern France.
.
Each rifle comes with the original World War II issued sling still on the rifles! (This is how they were stored, having never taken them off) bolt is not serial numbered to the gun. Has original rear sight as shown, bores are excellent with little to no wear and no pitting, bright and shiny! Wood is original walnut, no cracks, with original finish and inspection marks/cartouches intact. Bolt SN does not match the gun.

This model is an ROF(F) marked gun, meaning it was made by Royal Ordnance Factory – Fazakerley plant. This model is 1944 dated as well.

The French government had stored these guns without the magazines over 75 years ago deep inside underground caves, and in that time has misplaced them, so each rifle comes with a Navy Arms Parker-Hale reproduction magazine made in the identical style as the originals.

These are truly exceptional examples of World War II Enfield #4 Mk 1 rifles. There is a very limited supply, do not miss out on adding this unique example to your collection.
