Enfield Enforcer. UK Police Sniper Rifle. Commission Sale. There were around 767 manufactured by Enfield, not all were assembled. A number of parts including receivers were sold off to Charnwood Ordnance, who assembled them in to complete rifles & sold them on the civilian market, these were beleived to be in the 700 serial numnber range. New Enfield Enforcer. Enforcer 134 and a couple of other Enfields 'for fun'. I have heard some comments about certain ranges of scope serial numbers being used. We cannot say for certain it is a year, nor can we say for certain much of anything else about that number. All we can go by is the serial number. But here is the thing, that number on that No 4 is stamped in an area where some manufacturers stamped the year it was made. That is a red flag to me.

'#4 Mk2, UF '55' is a Fazackerly made Lee Enfield #4 Mk II rifle from 1955, I have a similar rifle from the same UF '55 lot, but with an A 189xx serial number, very close but no cigar, but not an envoy or enforcer, it is chambered in .303 British, the classic Lee-Enfield load. There were versions of the Enfield as dedicated marksmanship rifles, the L39 & L41 but I'm not familiar with the markings these would have had on them, I'm assuming it would have been marked as L39, or L42 respectively, not #4 Mk II???
However the ammunition headstamp is for a 7.62mm NATO load (the L42A1), not to be confused with the L42A1 designation of the Envoy. The crosshair (cross in a circle) denotes NATO spec ammunition BTW. There may also be a green, or black spot (filled in circle) on the box.
Could you have a #4 Mk II rebarreled to 7.62mm? This was a popular conversion 'back in the day' & was used a lot for long range (1,000 Yd) competition.
Is there a caliber marking on the barrel itself? this should clarify the chambering of your exact rifle & remove confusion. The 7.62mm barrels were a lot thicker than the original .303 barrels, but this was done to handle the higher pressure of the 7.62mm load, not for anything else.
As a hint. The Lee Enfields had wood almost all the way to the muzzle, only about the last 2' of barrel being visible, they also had a wooden covering over the top of the barrel to the same point in the length. The Envoy & Enforcer rifles had a much shorter front stock which stopped about 1/2 way along the barrel length & the top of the barrel was exposed all the way to the breech. Of course this may have been changed as part of a conversion to 7.62mm.
This is my Lee Enfield #4 Mk II.
The sight, mount & cheekpiece have been added to a stock rifle by me, but you get the idea of what a #4 Mk II looks like in .303 Brit.
