I have decided to create a spreadsheet on No4 MkI and No4 Mk2 rifles manufactured at the Pakistan Ordnance Factory (POF) in Wah Cantt. If you would like to participate in this survey, please send the following information:

1) MkI or Mk2
2) Date
3) Serial Number

Members can respond to this thread with the information, or for privacy, send me a PM. All data collected will be kept on a spreadsheet and only the information being requested (Mk, Date, & S/N) will be posted. Member names will not be released to other members nor will they be posted.

According to Skennerton, production of the MkI was approx. 10,000 and production of the Mk2 was approx. 20,000. I will keep this thread updated on a regular basis with the information I do receive.

Jon Ansley has agreed to sticky this thread.

Thank you

Troy L Vaughn

tlvaughn thanks for the encouraging words. im currently browsing the Enfield forum here trying to learn more about the gun. it looks like its had a stock repair on the top of the buttstock, but the underside of the stock is stamped with the serial, as is the bolt, the reciever and the first ring with the same serial, so i assume its numbers matching. its currently caked in cosmo so i have to clean her a bunch first before i can do much. heck i dont even know how to dissasemble her. lol That is awesome to know that yours is so close to mine. i hope to have her cleaned up and fireing her a bit here in the near future.

My No4 MK 2... 60/POF/ C35229
I bought this rifle back in the 1980's. The strange thing about it, that made me buy it, was that it was set up like a No4 MK 1 T. It had the pads, but no cheek rest. At that time I had a No 4 MK 1T Sniper, so I know that the, scope mount and scope fit. This was years before, you could buy the kit to make your own sniper rifle. Just wondering if anyone else had one like it? I will have to take some photos to show you.

Acquired a POF Mk. I from a member this past week.

POF NO. 4 Mk. I
54/P.O.F./ B07249

The barrel has a broad arrow mark and the Pakistani moon and star mark next to it. Many parts a Paki made, some of British made. There is a thick coat of green tropical paint layered on the bottom half of the barrel and receiver, mostly where it would be under the wood line. The magazine, bolt, left receiver wall, left wrist, and fore stock are numbered and matching.

POF No 4 Mk 2
1958 Production
C11098
C.A.I. (Century)

Just picked up this No 4 Mk 2 POF, all numbers matching in great condition. Looks to have had very few rounds fired but does have some interesting markings and arsenal repairs to the stock. Also it has the green protective paint under the wood.
