Lee-Enfield Rifle No. 4 Frederic Faust

Know Your Rifle!

We recommend this book for anyone who has a Lee-Enfield rifle for the way it shows phantom parts drawings, lists each individual part and gives its Ministry of Defence part number. Copiously illustrated, it is especially helpful for identifying missing parts when rebuilding a sporterized rifle.




The Lee-Enfield Rifle Number 4 Mark I* was built in Canada at the Long Branch Arsenal




Many military firearms aficionados consider this old warhorse to be the best of all the Lee-Enfield variants fielded during the Second World War.




Besides parts identification lists, detailing by illustration, descriptive part name and part number, for all parts of the Rifle, .303 Calibre, Lee -Enfield, No 4, Mark 1 *, this book also lists associated equipment including the bayonet, frog, action cover, wire gauze and pull-through and clearly shows the parts breakdown for each item of kit.




Furthermore, parts are listed in top-down breakdown sequence showing major assemblies, sub-assemblies, and component parts. The relationship of each part to the next higher assembly is shown by indentation of the part name in the description column.


Restated for emphasis: This book only covers the Canadian and Savage No. 4 Mark I* and not the British manufactured No. 4 Mark I and 2.
