Details
The Mk.!! configuration of the No.4 rifle was adopted in 1949. The major difference is that the trigger, instead of being mounted to the trigger guard, was mounted on the front of the butt socket.
Besides the markings, the only external difference is the bolt through the rear of the forend instead of the steel band on previous models.
Many of the No.4 Mk.I and the Mk.I* rifles were converted to the new model to either Mk.I/2 or Mk.I/3.
The No.4 Mk.II rifle was in production till 1956, and was replaced with the L1A1 rifle.
