Просмотров 214Год назад
The M1 Carbine was in service in the early 1940s when the United States military recognized the need for a lightweight firearm that could bridge the gap between the pistol and the full-sized rifle. The development of the M1 Carbine was driven by the requirements of non-frontline troops such as support personnel, paratroopers, and officers who needed a weapon that was compact, lightweight, and e...

    This video now has me lost about my own No4Mk1*......Mine was built in Long Branch and has a milled rear sight with a curved actuator. I hear that the rear sight was a very early version of rear sight that was quickly simplified for ease of manufacture to speed up production. So im not sure if my No4 is in its proper configuration? The gun is a beautiful example i picked up for 500bucks about 6months ago. I just wish i could find out more about my specific model of enfield?

    This version is different from military models, not just on the fire selector but even the way the trigger housing is connected to the receiver, on the military version it was connected with a pin just below the magazine release button. The magazine release paddle is also missing on this one. The bolt is also missing the groves that allowed to close it in a less noisy way, very similar to the Swedish AK4. But that feature was only added in the later models.

    • @allanh3865
      @allanh3865 3 месяца назад

      It's missing the paddle, because like with the original stock, the paddle was a no no at that time. The PTRs of today have the paddle release as those ridiculous restrictions are no longer in place.

    The two position Sight Mk2 is not a defining characteristic of the No4 Mk1*, that characteristic was primarily in the design of the bolt removal method. The Sight Mk2 was introduced to alleviate a bottleneck in the production of the more complicated Sight Mk1. It reached a stage where production of the Sight Mk1 could not maintain pace with that of the rifles, leaving rifles completed save for rear sights. The Sight Mk2 was introduced for both British made No4 Mk1 rifles and US/Canadian made No4 Mk1* rifles as a stop gap measure to allow issue of the rifles to the forces. As time went on Sights Mk1 were often replaced with Sights Mk1, Mk3 and Mk4 as they became available.

      I got lucky with my recent RC, "missing" sight hood but the barrel is actually an early enough revision that it didn't come with a sight hood so. Trigger guard capture screws are intact, has a cleaning rod, and all parts were milled not stamped.
