Built at ROF Fazakerley in 1955, this No.4 Mk 2 embodies the final refinement of the Lee–Enfield pattern with a trigger hung from the receiver. The receiver is marked "No 4 MK 2" with the Fazakerley UF 55 A-series prefix, aligning with its mid-1950s production.
It is configured with a 25.2-inch barrel and an overall length of approximately 44.5 inches. The rifle wears beechwood furniture, including a stock and two-piece top handguards, paired with a brass buttplate and the factory black stoving/painted finish over the steel receiver. Length of pull is 13.25 inches.
Sighting equipment consists of an aperture rear sight and a protected front post with ears. The rifle uses a 10-round detachable magazine and remains charger-loading compatible. A No.4 bayonet boss at the muzzle accepts standard pattern bayonets.
Service-focused details include a rear-locking, cock-on-closing bolt and interchangeable, numbered bolt heads to facilitate armorer headspace adjustment. Import history is indicated by the CAI ST ALB VT 303 UK barrel mark, with "55" inspection/date stamps present on multiple components. Matching serials are noted on the receiver, fore-end, and magazine.
