Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I* (sporterized) - SN 31C7081
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I* SN 31C7081 Marked "S" to show it was made by Stevens - Savage in the USA for British use but not marked "U.S. PROPERTY" as most were. Sporterized later.
In the U.S. over a million No. 4 Mark I* Rifles were made by the Savage Arms Company. This Company incorporated the Stevens Arms Company and, to distinguish weapons of Stevens manufacture, the letter C was included in their serial numbers. The C denoted Chicopee Falls, Mass., the location of the Stevens factory. All the No. 4 Rifles made in the U.S. were marked U.S. Property on the left side of the body, and they were the only ones to be fitted with barrels embodying six-grooved rifling. In 1942 a small number were converted at Enfield (U.K.) into Sniper Equipments.
